Council jumps into search for president - Search committee holds one-time open forum for student input
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”, “student government” and “student council”.
