SGA hosts public forum to hear student concerns
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 reports on an SGA public forum, a Teach For America presentation and plans to increase meeting attendance.
- The News-Letter reported that the SGA held an Oct. 20 forum where students asked about the spring semester, grading and the virtual freshman experience.
- The paper reported that a technical problem prevented a Facebook livestream, while Executive President Sam Mollin said future meetings would be available in real time.
- The article adds that Teach For America recruitment manager Evan Adams presented the organization’s two-year teaching program in low-income communities and encouraged Hopkins students to join.
- According to the reporter, Adams said most of the 1.3 million American students who leave high school each year are low-income students of color, and that low-income students are 2.5 times less likely to be college-ready.
- The News-Letter reported that Mollin said legislation was being written to create an incentive system for students to attend future meetings, though the details were not settled.
