StuCo, Young Trustee results released
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 News-Letter article covers StuCo election results, a tied presidential race and the Young Trustee finalists.
- The News-Letter reported that Soren Gandrud and Hyder Syed tied at 397 votes for StuCo executive board president, so the BoE will hold a third election, with its date and procedure still undecided.
- The paper reported that the BoE extended voting by 24 hours after Christopher Elser’s death and later disqualified senior presidential candidate Payal Patel over a campaign email; according to the article, Manu Sharma became president-elect with 78 votes, while Patel appealed.
- The article reported that Brian Drolet, Usha Saldahha and Stephen Popowski won senior-class positions, and that Christal Ng, Dan Hughes, Robert Huang and Anthony Paletta won the listed junior-class offices.
- The reporter writes that Jae-Jin won sophomore president with 122 votes, while the article lists Ron Benjamin, Deepa Gandhi, Jared Ede, Rebecca Shrago and Atin Agrawal as the other sophomore winners; it reports turnout of 33.61 percent among rising sophomores and 889 voters in the presidential election.
- The article quotes Hyder Syed saying the election was “more complicated than it should have been” and Manu Sharma saying, “The BoE has done their job fairly”; it also lists Simone Chen, Dan Herr, Wen Shi, Sadena Thevarajah and Tanya Weekes as Young Trustee finalists.
