SGA continues discussion on vaccine email and Marriage Pact
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
- The News-Letter article covers a Sept. 7 SGA meeting about an international-student vaccine email and the Marriage Pact.
- The News-Letter reported that the SGA revisited the vaccine email, which Peter Huang said was meant to seek assurance and support for international students if problems arose.
- The paper reported that Nathan Mudrak questioned the letter’s factual basis, while JiWon Woo suggested sending it through the COVID-19 Student Advisory Committee instead of under the SGA’s name.
- The article says the bill was unanimously tabled while organizers collected a headcount.
- The reporter writes that the Marriage Pact was created at Stanford, used at 55 other schools and planned for late September or early October; no legislation was introduced on it.
- The article adds that Elaina Regier described the program as being for meeting new people, while Kobi Khong said members were concerned about survey data but noted that its policy bars selling or sharing respondents’ information.
- The News-Letter reported that the SGA confirmed Rachel Fink as a sophomore senator replacing Benjamin Scherzer.
