This time, we'll start with the positives.
CP is starting a new initiative this semester to involve more students in planning future events, hosting "open forums" once a month to hear from students, faculty and staff.
This is excellent news. The organization is allotted more than $400,000 a year, meaning transparency is all the more vital.
The organization held one town hall last semester after a firestorm of criticism erupted over Jenny Sanford's $15,000 appearance on campus.
They didn't advertise the meeting well, and only a handful of students attended.
But that's old news.
We trust CP will extensively advertise these meetings and that students will show up en masse.
We also applaud CP for spending only $1,250 on Nick Cannon. That's a great bargain for such a well-known act — almost $29,000 less than his usual asking fee.
One negative, though: CP spent nearly $50,000 was spent to bring PostSecret founder Frank Warren and Jewish reggae artist Matisyahu to campus.
Modest who? OK, OK, Matisyahu surely appeals to some students. So did Jenny Sanford. But spending such money on folks hardly anyone knows is questionable at best.
All in all, we'll count this semester as progress for CP.
At least we're not paying $15,000 to hear about the Sanford family crest, Argentina, self pity or anything associated with the "Luv Guv."
