Judiciary Committee selected by SGA
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 News-Letter article reports on the SGA’s selection of a Judiciary Committee to oversee elections, constitutional compliance and disputes.
- The paper reported that the SGA voted to create the committee, made up of Jessica Buicko, Matt Garland, Patrick Mascia, Austin Nelson and Matt Pines, to ensure compliance with the constitution.
- The article adds that the committee will oversee elections, handle infractions and settle disputes within the SGA.
- The reporter writes that SGA senior Kate Jacob linked the committee’s creation to conflicts of interest in the previous fall’s executive election and quoted her calling for an “objective, unbiased group.”
- According to the article, SGA members sought applicants without strong ties to the association, while allowing some members with past SGA experience to serve.
- The paper reported that applicant Evan Lazerowitz questioned the selections, while committee member Matt Pines said the committee would focus on fairness and resolving disputes separately from the SGA’s work.
