Student government talks spirit, funding and clubs
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
- The Johns Hopkins News-Letter article covers a student government meeting about three bills and new student groups.
- The paper reported that Executive Secretary Kyra Toomre supported a pep rally and said Dean Boswell would provide $1500 for shirts if SGA funded the rest; the bill passed unanimously.
- The article says the proposed Peer Advising Fellows committee was withdrawn because weekly meetings would be difficult, while Academic Affairs continued the project and planned Skype calls between upperclassmen and incoming freshmen about course registration.
- The reporter writes that the SEE Grant was tabled so SSD could consider other fundraising options; the Finance Committee opposed it, and the bill was set for review the following week.
- According to the article, all four proposed groups were approved: the College Diabetes Network as an advocacy and awareness group, and JHU Irish Dance as a performing arts group.
- The News-Letter reported that MOCHA was approved but its category was delayed, while Tropical Clinics for Rural Health was approved as an International Service Group despite committee objections.
