SGA executive president steps down citing mental health challenges
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 News-Letter article reports on SGA Executive President Jason Plush’s resignation, the leadership change that follows and the campus mental-health discussion.
- The News-Letter reported that Plush was stepping down because of mental-health struggles and that Executive Vice President Jack Bartholet would replace him at noon on Friday, Oct. 23.
- The paper reported that Bartholet would succeed Plush under the SGA constitution and that the Senate would choose a new vice president from three candidates at the Oct. 27 meeting.
- The article says Plush described sleep problems, depression and difficulty managing his responsibilities, and said he had not been prioritizing his academics.
- The reporter writes that the SGA planned to discuss mental health with University President Ronald J. Daniels, Provost Robert C. Lieberman and other administrators at a Thursday dinner.
- The article adds that Bartholet’s succession could draw objections because of his previous election, and that he planned to revise the election code.
