SGA drafts plan for next two semesters
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 the SGA’s plans for spring events, funding, sustainability and freshman dorm names.
- The News-Letter reported that a Tuesday SGA meeting covered Project Chi, an outdoor spring festival, and the HOP’s plan to move money from the cancelled Neon Trees concert to Spring Fair; Moses Song said surveys showed students wanted more SGA programming.
- The paper reported that Alex Schupper requested and received approval for an additional $15,000 for Project Chi, with one member voting against it and one abstaining; Schupper said the money would fund an artist and soundstage production.
- The article adds that Project Chi may take place on the last day of classes, likely on Keyser Quad with a Recreation Center rain location, and that organizers said it should welcome students beyond Greek Life.
- The reporter writes that combining the Fall Fest and Spring Fair budgets would give Spring Fair about $100,000 to bring a major artist to campus.
- According to the article, the SGA was beginning a project to add water-bottle refill stations and possibly reduce plastic-bottle sales; Kyra Toomre said more refill access would come first.
- The News-Letter also reported that possible names for Buildings A and B included an alumnus’s name, a non-person name or AMR III, with the buildings likely to be called AMRIII A and AMR III B.
