StuCo votes on, approves bylaw changes
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 StuCo’s approval of Witness Theater constitution changes and new Arts Certificate Committee bylaws.
- The News-Letter reported that StuCo approved changes to the Witness Theater constitution and bylaws adding a StuCo member to the Arts Certificate Committee.
- The paper reported that Witness Theater president Justine Olin said the changes created a board hierarchy, added a technical director, set election and vacancy procedures, addressed casting fairness and confidentiality, and created the Witness Writer’s Guild.
- The article quotes SAC Chairperson Elise Roecker saying, "The SAC Executive Board found all [changes] in agreement with our own constitution," and reports that the Witness Theater group unanimously approved the changes before StuCo passed them.
- The reporter writes that the Arts Certificate Committee will include a StuCo member, the SAC Performing Arts liaison and three student arts-group appointees representing dance, music and theater.
- The article says Vice President Noel De Santos reported that most certificate details had been completed, while eligibility criteria were still being planned.
- The paper reported that StuCo discussed an online exam reserve system, van escort service and campus lighting; President Manish Gala said old exams should be posted online shortly, and representative Charles Reyner described efforts to address weekend van shortages and identify places needing lights.
