Harter FROM: The Special Committee on the Organization of KUNV Radio Dr. Robert Ackerman, co-chair Dr. John Gallagher, co-chair RE: Final Report The Special Committee on the Organization of KUNV Radio is pleased to present this report and the associated recommendations to you, in response to your charge to the committee. This report is the result of the committee's meetings and deliberations over the last few months, and reflects the best judgment of the committee concerning governance, funding, and organization for the station. We would be pleased to meet with you at your convenience concerning this report or any aspect of it. Mission The Special Committee understands and reaffirms KUNV's mission as a university owned, non-profit and non-commercial community radio station providing: • Alternative, culturally diverse, entertainment, and informative programming to the market; • Educational training in such areas as station management, programming, and production for students and members of the community; and • Services consistent with UNLV's commitment to community, education, and outreach. The members of the special committee recognize that it is difficult to achieve collaborative, if not common, interpretations of this mission. Many of the terms in the mission may legitimately mean different things to rational people of good will. Issues of program diversity and questions of empowerment remain central to non-commercial public radio in this country, and were at the heart of our near-weekly discussions. At various times, members of the committee "agreed to disagree" about one or another aspect or interpretation of the mission, but all agreed that the mission will ultimately come to life in the day-to-day activities of the station, and all believe and expect that the recommendations outlined below will help to improve station operations. /1998 14:37 702-895-1010 UNLV FOUNDATION PAGE 02 Report of the Special Committee on the Organization of KUNV Radio November 30,1998 Page 2 Committee Response and Recommendations The Committee's response to your charge dated August 24, 1998 is outlined below. We have incorporated the structure from that original document to frame our responses. The broadcast product must be of high professional quality The committee recommends an immediate personnel search via appropriate channels for a general manager with experience in non-commercial and university-affiliated broadcast radio. This position, which is now staffed by MI interim general manager, should be filled by July 1, 1999. The committee recommends that the President appoint a KUNV Radio Station Advisory Board, and that you ratify the attached FM 91.5 UNLV Radio Station Advisory Board Bylaws which will provide direction for this advisory committee. Among other things, these bylaws provide for a broadly representative committee that reflects both University and community interest in the station and its programming. The appointment of this new advisory board should be expedited so it can play a principal role in the search for a general manager. Methods for monitoring and maintaining professional quality The committee believes that the work and attention of the new advisory board will provide one important method to insure overall station quality. The committee also recommends that the station maintain affiliation with the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and National Public Radio or other non-commercial radio consortia as an additional indicator and arbiter of professional quality. Adherence to FCC regulations relative to station control and chain of command The discussion about the station in the last few months has affirmed very clearly that the station is licensed to the UCCSN Board of Regents, and that the Regents have delegated control to the President of UNLV. The committee recommends that the President delegate operational authority and control to an executive officer of the University. This officer would set station policy, would oversee all aspects of the operation of the station, would hire and evaluate the station /1998 14:37 702-895-1010 UNLV FOUNDATION PAGE 02 Report of the Special Committee on the Organization of KUNV Radio November 30,1998 Page 3 general manager. The executive officer would rely on the advice and recommendations of the advisory committee, but would not be bound by them. The bylaws for the new advisory board provide a clear statement concerning this organizational structure. These bylaws recognize that the President controls the station, but delegates that ftmction to an executive officer of the institution, who in turn hires and evaluates a general manager. In turn, the general manager hires and evaluates station staff. Everyday adherence to FCC regulation relative to non-commercial radio station licensing and practice should remain part of the general manager's responsibilities. The advisory committee then provides oversight and recommends appropriate policy and activity to the executive officer charged with station operations. In this arrangement, the role of the advisory committee is consistent with FCC regulations. Provide high Quality educational opportunity for students The special committee recommends that students who work part- or full-time at the Station should be subject to personnel guidelines for assessing qualifications, hiring, terminating, and benefits as defined in UCCSN, UNLV, and KUNV policies. Volunteers, including student volunteers, should be subject to existing or amended guidelines concerning individuals who provide non-paid support as part of station operations. The bylaws for the advisory committee include recommendations for board composition that, if adopted, would seat two faculty members from the Greenspun School of Communications on the committee. These faculty members would provide oversight for internships established with the station, and would help insure that station activity with its interns would be consistent with Greenspun School policies regarding interns. CSUN must be involved unless formally withdraws The creation of the new advisory committee provides ample CSUN representation. The CSUN representatives on the special committee are satisfied with this arrangement, which reflects their input and participation in the committee's work. A meaningful annual assessment process The Special Committee recommends that the President request an annual report from the university executive officer given station oversight as part of any annual assessment. /1998 14:37 702-895-1010 UNLV FOUNDATION PAGE 02 Report of the Special Committee on the Organization of KUNV Radio November 30, 1998 Page 4 Budget and Funding The Special Committee recommends that the President review the current sources of funding for this budget with the executive officer who is assigned responsibility for the station, recognizing that the format adopted by the station will have a material impact on the ability of the station to generate significant external funding, and that such a review be a regular part of the annual evaluation of the station and its operation. The Special Committee strongly recommends that funding for the station reflect a commitment from all of the constituencies served by the station, that is, CSUN, UNLV, and the community. Each of these should participate in the funding at a level that acknowledges the importance of the station as a communication and educational vehicle in Las Vegas, one that provides significant benefits to each of these constituencies. The Special Committee also believes that the station itself can certainly be expected to generate a significant portion of the funds needed for its operation, but probably will not be able to generate all of these funds, especially given probable format limitations. The Special Committee also recommends that KUNV Radio operate with a regular annual budget of at least $300,000 (current dollars), an amount approximately equal to the budget for fiscal year 1999. The Committee believes that the station will be unable to meet the criteria for programming and educational quality set out in the charge to this committee, dated August 24,1998, without a budget of at Ieast-this level.
