We need a security committee for every campus
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 phrase “student government”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article covers a proposed student security committee and the article’s case for campus-level committees.
- The paper reported that Vice President for Security Melissa Hyatt announced a Student Advisory Committee for Security, which would address security issues and seek varied student views; applications were open.
- The article says the committee would have 15 students: 10 nominated by designated student groups and five at-large members, limiting open applications.
- The reporter writes that only two designated-group seats would represent Homewood, while eight would come from other campuses, and argues for separate committees linked by a larger coordinating group.
- The article adds that Hyatt’s public email should be used to collect feedback and that her staff should promise to read every message, including concerns about a possible private police force, the July lockdown and neighborhood security.
