Deans address student concerns over end of covered grades
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 Johns Hopkins News-Letter article covers student concerns about ending covered grades and the deans’ responses.
- The News-Letter reported that the University plans to end covered grades in fall 2017 and that the SGA launched a referendum, with voting open until noon Monday.
- The paper reported that discussions began in 2008, with the HAC delaying the change until 2017 while student-support programs developed.
- The article says Dean Ed Schlesinger and Dean Beverly Wendland acknowledged that the University should have communicated more with current students.
- The reporter writes that the University planned a formal response to #ReCoverHopkins and a possible fall meeting for students to present their concerns.
- According to the article, Schlesinger said overturning the decision was “extremely unlikely.”
