SGA passes two new bills in first session
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 reports on an SGA meeting where members passed two bills and discussed how they work together.
- The paper reported that members passed the CLEAR Act, which would reorganize five committees into eight, including by dividing the Appointments and Evaluations committee.
- The article adds that Sarah Zappone said the current structure was “not optimal” and that the proposed changes would “change the whole dynamic.”
- According to the article, the CLEAR Act passed 11–9, with one abstention, after more than 45 minutes of debate.
- The News-Letter reported that members also passed a bill creating a Communications and Marketing commission, while some senators abstained because they thought it had received too little discussion.
- The reporter writes that Robert Ticzon supported the commission as a way for a team to accomplish more, while Liam Haviv and Plush urged members to cooperate and represent students together.
- The article says Leela Subramaniam described the group as having “growing pains” and said members would need to learn how to work together.
