SGA passes bill calling for OIE to reform its practices
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 covers SGA actions on Title IX, transgender rights, community safety and Spring Fair funding.
- The News-Letter reported that the SGA unanimously passed a resolution calling for the University to reduce OIE investigations from an average of 128 days to the 60-day federal standard.
- The paper reported that Madelynn Wellons called OIE “a broken institution” and said it investigates details focused on survivors’ motives rather than relevant evidence.
- The article says the SGA supported a petition about Juan Obarrio and unanimously passed a resolution supporting transgender and gender-nonconforming students.
- The reporter writes that HCPI had spent about $6.5 million on local nonprofit grants, while a police-patrol program reduced crime during patrol hours but not during its three-year pilot overall.
- The News-Letter reported that the SGA approved $1,500 for Spring Fair fireworks, while students disagreed about whether the money would best serve the student body.
