Students return to Baltimore despite University urgings
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 government”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article reports on students returning to Baltimore despite University urgings and on fall COVID-19 rules and testing concerns.
- The News-Letter reported that the University moved from a planned hybrid semester to a fully online fall, but many students returned to Baltimore anyway.
- The paper reported that students cited housing, internet access and earlier hybrid-plan decisions as reasons for returning; sophomore Emi Ochoa also said she had not received promised lease aid.
- The article adds that in-person events were prohibited, gatherings of more than 10 people were banned and conduct violations could lead to penalties as severe as expulsion.
- The reporter writes that SGA President Sam Mollin wanted regular, on-demand testing and stronger contact tracing for students living off campus.
