SGA revisits the Board of Trustees Resolution

By BUSE KOLDAS · The Johns Hopkins News-Letter · September 8, 2023

The Student Government Association (SGA) held its weekly general body meeting on Sept. 5 to discuss the Phi Delta Theta (Phi Delt) Crab Fest Funding Bill, the Academic Senators Bylaw Update Bill and the Board of Trustees Resolution.

Phi Delta Theta Crab Fest Funding Bill

Senior Class Senator Sabour Shaik and Phi Delta Theta Representative Maahi Ameer presented the Phi Delta Theta Crab Fest Funding Bill. The proposed legislation asks SGA to contribute to the funding of the fraternity’s upcoming event, Crab Fest, which they intend to host on Oct. 7 from 2–6 p.m. on the Freshman Quad.

Academic Senators Bylaw Update Bill

Sophomore Class Senator Timothy Huang and Junior Class President Resham Talwar presented the Academic Senators Bylaw Update Bill as part of the efforts to amend the SGA Constitution. The bill in question aims to have academic senators on the Academic Affairs Committee to “allow students to make changes in all academic aspects between schools,“ yet distinguishes the roles and goals of the academic senators from those of the Academic Affairs Committee.

Board of Trustees Resolution

Talwar and Vice President Jackson Morris shared the edits they made to the Board of Trustees Resolution, which was first presented during the SGA meeting on August 29. The bill calls upon the Board to amend its system to annually nominate two faculty trustees for four-year terms in addition to one graduate and one undergraduate trustee for two-year terms.
