I was disappointed in Saturday's concert, not because of the music, but how it was organized. UPC took the money it has budgeted, money that is supposed to be for Auburn students, and put on a concert that was open to the public.
Did UPC charge admission for non-students? No. The public was able to go to a concert put together by student’s tuition, which seems like misuse of funding.
Not to mention one of the performers, Nelly, was arrested a week ago for drug possession. Auburn needed to grow a backbone on this and show some integrity by not allowing him to perform.
Auburn and UPC shouldn’t condone drugs and should have taken a stand against this. UPC continues to disappoint with how they handle events and your money, and it is time they own up to it.
