Newly elected SGA holds first meeting
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 reports on the new SGA administration’s first meeting, its rules bill and its meeting schedule.
- The News-Letter reported that the new SGA administration held its first weekly meeting on April 27 and that members received training led by Executive President Mehak Ali.
- The paper reported that Ali urged members to plan more in-person activities, saying such events could improve morale after COVID-19’s effects on students.
- The article says Ali and Executive Vice President Breanna Soldatelli presented a Rules Bill, which required meetings to use Hopkins Groups and a separate attendance QR code.
- The reporter writes that Talal Widatalla objected to the process, while Carolyn Harris said Hopkins Groups would keep a record of student engagement.
- The article adds that Soldatelli defended the change by saying members could use a phone-based QR code or a link; Widatalla withdrew his amendment, and the Rules Bill passed unanimously.
- According to the article, members largely agreed to meet at 7 p.m. Eastern on Tuesdays during the 2021–22 academic year.
