More of the same from the 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”, “student government” and “student council”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article reports on early-year changes involving the SGA’s bylaws, committees and elections.
- The News-Letter reported that the SGA passed its bylaws on Tuesday night and then formed committees, which the article describes as central to the SGA’s authority and influence.
- The paper reported that freshmen elections were scheduled for five weeks later, so the SGA established an ad-hoc committee to run them instead of the regular committee.
- The article adds that the ad-hoc committee would include many members of last year’s election committee, when every executive-election candidate was disqualified and a second election was held.
- The reporter writes that a majority rejected allowing candidates to campaign during the election period; the article says the rule also barred statements such as “vote for me.”
- The article concludes that the new SGA looked similar to the old Student Council.
