A big priority will be to reevaluate and overhaul the way the UC is involved in social programming.” Angry UC members present at yesterday’s meeting questioned the commission’s decision not to survey the student body before an artist was chosen. “We have never had the luxury of time to deal with personal opinion more broadly,” said McCambridge, who fielded questions from UC members. “We can’t access student opinion...
