SGA discusses alcohol concerns at Spring Fair
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 an SGA meeting about Spring Fair alcohol rules, the Black Student Caucus and the Ethics and Conduct Board.
- The News-Letter reported that Calvin Smith said the University would strictly enforce its no-open-container policy, especially on the Beach, where he advised students not to drink in public.
- The paper reported that Smith said the policy had not changed; according to the article, students seen drinking could have their IDs checked, be reported and attend a conduct meeting and hearing.
- The article says members unanimously approved Madeleine Uraih as Black Student Caucus chair and elected Claire Gorman vice chair; the caucus represents Black students and plans discussions with Black student-group leaders at least once a semester.
- The reporter writes that the Ethics and Conduct Board nominees included 11 students, and AJ Tsang said more than 25 students applied after SGA members were invited to apply.
- The News-Letter reported that Sam Mollin asked for activist-group members on the Board, while Miranda Bannister said the meeting concerned confirming nominees, not the Board’s wider operation; Board presenters said including activists was not their primary responsibility.
