Student media at WRVU taken over by serial enemy of college radio
by Decius at 4:46 pm EDT, Oct 5, 2010

The trouble started when USC's director of student media, an administrator by the name of Chris Carroll, had been surreptitiously monitoring the station and recording examples of what he deemed unacceptable music.

(Acting in a strikingly similar fashion at Tulane University in 1991, he succeeded in pulling the plug on the Crescent City's WTUL, whose rabble-rousing DJs reportedly made WUSC's look like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.)

This guy is now running WRVU. He already cracked down on community DJs at the station and has now moved to shut the station down completely.

According to [VSC chairperson Mark] Wollaeger, VSC staff registered the domains so that feedback could be sent directly to VSC. Wollaeger acknowledged that in retrospect, he believes that registering the domains was a poor decision by VSC. VSC director of student media Chris Carroll can be held accountable for the registrations, according to Wollaeger.

Its a double cross! This could not be more transparent!

Asked whether the sale of the license could be averted if a donor, or group of donors, were able to pay the station's roughly $15,000 yearly operating costs — effectively paying WRVU's way to keep it on the air — Wollaeger said no.

How the fuck does that make sense?!

If this isn't about the financial viability of the station than there is no other possible explanation - this is an assault on our Constitutional Rights! I am fucking furious about this.
