It's time for students to come out of the woodwork

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 argues that more Hopkins undergraduates should pursue ideas and innovation beyond coursework, while discussing the SGA’s role.
  • The article says the SGA has a record of improvement initiatives, but describes the group as having a “near-oligarchic veneer.”
  • The paper reported that 32 undergraduates sit on the council and have helped produce developments in student and academic life, drawing on input from the wider student body.
  • The article adds that those 32 students represent a small share of Hopkins’ 5,000 undergraduates.
  • The reporter, who wrote that he was a member of student government, urged students to share ideas and pursue work connected to their interests.
