Hopkins students: We can care when it matters

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 “student government” and “student council”.

Summary

  • This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article covers reported changes in student government, elections and student responses to Christopher Elser’s death.
  • The News-Letter reported that the Student Activities Commission audited and re-examined its policies after a financial crisis.
  • The paper reported that freshman Jered Ede mobilized enough freshmen and sophomores to remove StuCo.
  • The article says the Board of Elections received 1,041 votes, representing 35.1 percent turnout among the three voting classes.
  • The reporter writes that the class elections and the second round of StuCo presidential elections were conducted without reported problems; a separate race between Soren Gandrud and Hyder Syed ended tied at 397 votes each.
  • According to the article, the Hopkins Greek community raised thousands of dollars for Elser’s family, with a scholarship possibly funded by the proceeds.
