StuCo Sen. Shrago resigns from post
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 Johns Hopkins News-Letter article reports on Rebecca Shrago’s resignation from the Student Council and the reasons she gave.
- The paper reported that Shrago announced her resignation, citing dissatisfaction with the group’s direction and its lack of progress; the article says Long tried to dissuade her before she made it official at the weekly meeting.
- The article adds that Shrago said she had worked to make the government function but doubted it would become effective, and that disagreements over the bylaws left her feeling isolated.
- The reporter writes that long debates, sometimes lasting up to 45 minutes without addressing student interests, contributed to Shrago’s decision to leave.
- According to the article, Ede said he and Shrago disagreed on about half of the issues but that this reflected different views rather than total opposition.
- The paper reported that Hayden said the committee’s debates had shifted toward procedural issues and that Shrago’s departure left it with an uncertain future; the article ends with Shrago saying StuCo had many obstacles to overcome.
