SGA swears in Freshman Class Council
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 Freshman Class Council’s inauguration and changes to SGA caucus rules.
- The News-Letter reported that the SGA recognized Kobi Khong as freshman class president and Raj Bhatt, Jenny Chen, Harvey McGuinness, Ireland Parrish, Elaina Regier and Benjamin Scherzer as freshman class senators.
- The paper reported that Bhatt said the ceremony’s format mattered less to him than joining the council and having the power to make changes.
- The article adds that Bhatt was disappointed the council could not meet in person, but said members would find ways to work around it; he also said online events were cheaper and easier to organize.
- The reporter writes that council members were assigned to committees and that the Caucus Bylaws Amendment would require caucus heads to be SGA senators or Executive Board members, while allowing non-SGA members to serve as vice presidents.
- According to the article, William Cho said SGA members should have final control of caucuses, and the amendment passed unanimously.
