SGA Class Council members announced
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 the 2014 Class Council election results, candidates’ goals and a fossil-fuel divestment referendum.
- The News-Letter reported that Destiny Bailey, Jahan Mirchandani and Syed Hossain were elected president of the Classes of 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively.
- The paper reported that candidates needed 100 student signatures to appear on the ballot, and Laura Perkinson said the elections committee reviewed petitions and approved campaign posters.
- The article says Ale Saichin wanted more compost bins and dual-flush toilets, while Mirchandani proposed centralizing off-campus housing information and improving student input on commencement speakers.
- The reporter writes that the Advocacy and Awareness Alliance endorsed 10 candidates because of their positions on funding for advocacy and awareness groups; the group said the SGA budget and grant process should be more transparent.
- The News-Letter reported that 73 percent of voters supported a referendum calling for the University to divest from fossil-fuel industry stocks, and Maggie Weese said the result gave the group hope for future climate action.
