SGA discusses committee structure for finance and student center
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 the SGA’s final meeting of the semester, including finance rules and a proposed student-center committee.
- The News-Letter reported that the meeting covered a proposal to limit the Financial Committee’s power to approve or veto funding under $500 when the general body had not met for two weeks.
- The paper reported that Anthony Boutros questioned the committee’s role, while Kwame Alston defended its work with student groups; Boutros said it had not rejected bills approved by another committee.
- The article adds that bills would have to reach the Financial Committee by Sunday afternoon for review before Tuesday meetings, and that the finance discussion was tabled.
- The reporter writes that Sam Schatmeyer supported a temporary committee to lead the student-center initiative, saying earlier attempts had gone nowhere.
- According to the article, Olivia Cigarroa said the project might be better handled by Student Services for now, while other members questioned whether a new committee was needed; the student-center discussion was also tabled.
