SGA outlines upcoming projects
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 “sga”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article covers projects discussed at an SGA meeting and the response to a cultural-event controversy.
- The News-Letter reported that the meeting covered a bike-share program, a possible Spring Fair expansion, a student-life grant and an apology to the Korean Students Association.
- The paper reported that the bike program could offer low-cost or free rentals, with bikes at the Mattin and Athletic centers; Mark Dirzulaitis said, “We hope to approve funding by the end of the semester and start setting it up by the second.”
- The article says representatives planned to ask Ronald Daniels and Lloyd Minor to raise the Spring Fair budget to $25,000, with a larger music-focused event and possible headliner.
- The reporter writes that the course-review guide would be promoted, while suggestion boxes and meetings with finance committee-funded groups were also discussed; Dirzulaitis said, “We are doing work related to this, but we decided the best way deal with the issue right now is to promote what is already there,”
- According to the article, the approved pilot grant would give a student or student group a one-time $500 to $1,000 award for a project improving student life.
- The article reports that MSE Symposium apologized for confusion involving Korean customs in its “Colorful China” event, and that representatives concluded cultural-event organizers should consult the Office of Multicultural Affairs.
