I'd like a little more information on this topic. An anonymous source of mine says that the College has paid over $150,000 for Jason Mraz to perform at the Carolina First Arena. Amid tuition increases and budget decreases across the board, I'm wondering if this figure is accurate, where the money came from, and will the College earn a percentage of revenues for seats sold.
I think it's very exciting for a popular artist to come down South, but do we really need to pay so much for one night of fun at the expense of student organizations and academic departments?
