President Daniels must make mental health a top priority

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 editorial covers Jason Plush’s resignation as SGA executive president and calls for greater university action on student mental health.
  • The News-Letter reported that senior Jason Plush resigned, citing struggles with his mental health, and that Executive Vice President Jack Bartholet would replace him Friday at noon.
  • The paper reported that Bartholet must select three SGA candidates for executive vice president, after which the Senate will elect one.
  • The article says Plush expressed confidence in Bartholet and called him a strong source of support during the semester.
  • The reporter writes that the SGA was meeting with President Daniels about mental health and that the editorial board urged him to make student mental health a priority and commit university resources to studying the issue.
