SAC freezes Class of 2004 account
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 covers the freezing of the Class of 2004’s account after two officers missed a SAC General Assembly meeting.
- The paper reported that SAC froze the account after President Bob Alleman and Secretary/Treasurer Leah Greenfield missed the Oct. 1 meeting, stopping transactions and a planned pizza giveaway; Greenfield said students likely did not know about the freeze.
- The article says Noel DeSantos cited a long-standing policy requiring class presidents and treasurers to attend, while Alleman acknowledged the class lacked representation and DeSantos said he had announced the meeting several times.
- The reporter writes that the account had also been frozen the previous year; Alleman and Greenfield said they could not attend and failed to contact each other, and Greenfield attributed the freeze to poor communication.
- According to the article, the officers asked SAC to unfreeze the account, with a review planned for the following Monday; both expected the issue to be resolved, while DeSantos declined to predict the outcome and said the class needed to attend on time and respect the board.
- The paper reported that class operations continued, but payments and purchases were delayed; Alleman said an H-Fest payment would be made Monday, Greenfield described the officers as frustrated, and DeSantos suggested borrowing money from another class.
