Now is time for "A" change
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 “student government” and “student council”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter editorial covers a proposed Student Council Constitution and a student vote on it.
- The article says the proposal, called Amendment A, was scheduled for a student-wide vote on April 22.
- The paper reported that the HOP would take over school-wide and class social programming, with an elected chair and five elected programmers for each class.
- According to the article, the proposal would rename Council members “senators,” reduce the Council to 19 members and create five policy committees.
- The editorial says the reformers wanted changes made immediately rather than waiting another year, and wanted the Council to focus on policy.
- The article adds that the proposal would not change the Student Activities Commission or leave the Council inactive during the summer if it passed.
