StuCo plans for JHU Kinex
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 council”.
Summary
- This News-Letter article covers Student Council votes and plans involving JHU Kinex, student services and academic initiatives.
- The News-Letter reported that the Student Council approved by majority vote a bylaw revision proposed by Class of 2002 President Stephen Goutman to change how motions are discussed and amended.
- The paper reported that JHU Kinex, a twice-monthly student journal, had secure and feasible production funding, with information from campus groups, Academic Affairs, HSA and class representatives; the communications committee would be run by Monica Lai and Corrina Viasante, and President Anuj Mittal said the newsletter would let groups “express the enthusiasm that they have for their groups to the rest of the student body.”
- The article adds that the Student Council planned posters about meal-plan changes, continued efforts to lower Levering prices and planned reduced meal rates at Wolman and Terrace; the article says the Council had already lowered combo-meal prices.
- The reporter writes that Council members considered the Halloween Fells Point shuttles a success, planned a shuttle-information pamphlet for freshmen and sophomores, and investigated services such as Resnet and housing options at other colleges.
- According to the article, JHUnity was developing a proposal for an African American Studies program, while Mittal said, “this initiative has started itself a few times at Hopkins,” and the Council hoped the program would begin that year.
- The paper also reported that Class of 2005 Representative Charles Reyner was approved for COLA and that Treasurer Noel de Santos gave the SAC General Assembly a month to consider a judicial-board proposal and its effects on SAC’s jurisdiction.
