University to open for some form of academic instruction this fall
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 phrase “student government”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article reports on the University’s fall reopening plans, online instruction and student reactions.
- The News-Letter reported that President Ronald J. Daniels announced limited fall academic instruction, co-curricular activities and residential life, with a detailed plan due by the end of June and a final plan by mid-July.
- The paper reported that Phase One requires Baltimore City permission and would allow research to resume on campus under existing planning guidance.
- The article adds that administrators were assessing whether in-person classes and activities were feasible, while all or most courses would still be offered online.
- The reporter writes that student Smitha Mahesh called the decision premature, while Lubna Azmi said coronavirus cases and deaths would rise and that this was not being considered.
- According to the article, the University had formed a pandemic academic advisory committee, while SGA Executive President Sam Mollin later clarified that an undergraduate return to campus and course format had not been finalized.
