StuCo passes Judicial Board
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 News-Letter article reports on Student Council decisions about an SAC Judicial Board, access to old exams and a class officer vacancy.
- The News-Letter reported that the Student Council passed a proposed SAC amendment creating a Judicial Board, while the SAC General Assembly would have the final vote at its next meeting.
- The paper reported that Stephen Goutman questioned the Dean of Students’ power to decide cases without the board, while Noel De Santos supported the proposal and said, “We get power through this document.”
- The article says a proposal to place four years of exams on reserve passed by majority vote after its language about “Greek and social organizations” was removed; it would next go to the Curriculum Committee and Academic Counsel.
- The reporter writes that Charles Reyner said the exam proposal would “put all students on equal footing,” while Ali Fenwick raised a concern about students memorizing rather than learning.
- According to the article, Goutman announced Senior Class Vice President Shanu Kohli’s resignation and said officers would consider leaving the role vacant, promoting an officer or choosing a new vice president.
