The Country Music Television Music Awards returned to Belmont’s campus for a second year on Mon. April 16. For security reasons, the Beaman Student Life Center and other parts of campus were shut down for days around the event, creating more than a few frustrated students and faculty. Here is what some of them had to say:
"Parking is just ridiculous...having the show here is good publicity, but it could be better planned." - Christina Coomer, freshman Religion and the Arts major
"I'm glad we can have it, it's good publicity, I know, but seriously, don't shut down campus. What is more important--academics or publicity?" - Megan Gleckler, junior commercial voice major who can't get her posters approved for a recital on Friday because Beaman is closed.
"Don't forget the students." - Emily Bishop, junior medical imaging technology major
"They don't benefit us much and they get in the way." - Ben Bryan, sophomore political science major
"They need to work on their relationship with the students. We're trying to get an education here; we're not just hanging out, and they're hindering that education." - Krystal Long, sophomore media studies major
