Letter to the Editor 07/02/2020
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrases “sga” and “student government”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article covers a letter about whether students should return to campus in fall 2020.
- The News-Letter reported that SGA President Sam Mollin had helped plan the fall as a member of a university-wide steering committee.
- The paper reported that Mollin argued an optional return could help students facing unstable home environments and online-learning barriers.
- The article says Mollin cited the University’s public health plans as stronger than measures widely ignored elsewhere.
- The reporter writes that Mollin said most fall classes would still be online and that students unable to return could take a leave of absence.
- According to the article, Mollin concluded that students should be allowed to return if they choose and if public health conditions permit it.
