SAC groups choose 2002-2003 liaisons
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 council”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article covers SAC’s final General Assembly meeting of the semester and its plans for the 2002–03 school year.
- The News-Letter reported that members voted on next year’s liaisons, with one nominee for each of eight groups; the nominees included Jon Groce, Cheryl Adackapara, Michael Seibert, Matthew Koelbl, Sara Marten, Marisa Adelman, Evan Grove and Ishwaria Chandramohan.
- The paper reported that Elise Roecker asked groups to complete officer-transition forms and said Class A groups without annual budgets would have their budgets heard again in May.
- The article says Anuj Mittal raised concerns about off-campus security, citing thousands of students, about 10 unarmed officers and reported break-ins; he proposed making security “more of a presence.”
- The reporter writes that Samar Malek said flyers for MESA’s “Arabian Nights” event had been deliberately torn down and urged members to publicize what she called vandalism targeting student groups.
- The article adds that Assistant Dean Bill Smedick responded, “What's happened is a travesty,” and called for the community to come together around freedom of speech.
