...allocate the HCC’s budget in a timely manner last spring. The report called this “a major factor in the failure of the HCC to produce a successful concert in the fall.” The commission also criticized the HCC’s method of artist selection, recommending that it include greater student input when choosing an artist. The report also documents several instances when the rules governing the HCC were not followed. According to the bylaws governing the HCC, the chair of the HCC is to “report biweekly...
