NEW BUSINESS Motion to move out of the order of the day into item LL made by SENATOR KIMBROUGH, seconded by SENATOR LEHMAN. Move into a vote. Motion to move out of the order of the day into item LL passes 23-0-0. LL. Action Item: Discussion/Approval of KUNV Ad Hoc Committee recommendation; as submitted by SENATOR KIMBROUGH; Motion to approve made by SENATOR KIMBROUGH, seconded by SENATOR CECI. Former SENATOR HAYES presented the CSUN KUNV Adhoc Committee's recommendation regarding CSUN's relationship with KUNV. She stated, "The committee believes that UNLV students and the larger university community would be better served by shifting KUNV's financial and oversight responsibilities from CSUN to the UNLV Foundation no later than January 1, 1998. KUNV, under the new organizational structure, would be encouraged to pursue collaborative projects with various university organizations, including academic units, in order to ensure the opportunity for student training and involvement. For example, the committee recommends that future staff hires for the station include individuals with interest in 4 SENATE MINUTES 28-02/November 10, 1997 and prior academic experiences in teaching courses such as broadcast management, programming, promotions, fundraising and development, radio production, and so on. Recognizing that these changes will take both time and resources, the committee advises prompt execution. The committee also recommends that CSUN contribute to this collaborative effort by dedicating annual funding at a rate of 4% of C SUN's annual budget for operations/upgrades. In addition, the committee recommends that CSUN fund the equivalent of at least four, three-credit hour student interns per semester, to be administered and supervised by the Hank Greenspun School of Communication, to qualifying individuals. This commitment would commence with the 1998-99 academic year." She then announced that student-at-large, Roy Hessinger, did not sign the recommendation; but, he did vote unanimously with the rest of the committee at the final meeting. In response to questions, she stated that we left the 4% in the budget to ensure student involvement and the budget would have to be approved every year; and she stated that they received student input from the station. DR. ACKERMAN stated that he thought the committee did a good job and thinks that the committee came up with the best possible solution. In response to a question, he explained that the use of the word "grant" on PBS means "a swap" of advertising between PBS and KUNV and no money was exchanged. SENATOR FISK stated that he doesn't like our options on this. SENATOR TRUJILLO stated that he thinks this recommendation is an effective tool in keeping students involved in the radio station. Former SENATOR HAYES reminded the Senate to consider the bylaw which states that CSUN is liable for any deficit regarding KUNV. SENATOR KIMBROUGH suggested doing a Constitutional Revision ballot in the spring. SENATOR CECI stated that he understands that KUNV can't change its format to something the students would listen to because of the commercial competition in the Las Vegas valley; and he stated that he thinks the most feasible thing to do is to turn it into a lab for communication students. In response to a question, former SENATOR HAYES stated that she doesn't know exactly what would happen to KUNV in the future regarding Rock Avenue, but stated that it probably won't be on anymore. SENATOR KIMBROUGH added that the Constitution makes CSUN responsible for KUNV's upgrades and their costs which is about 1/3 of our budget; he also stated that they've discussed doing live athletic program broadcasts to get more involved with SENATE MINUTES 28-02/November 10, 1997 the students; and he stated that they have discussed doing a lecture series which is a good public relations tool for the university. In response to a question, BUSINESS MANAGER JIM MOORE stated that there are currently 2 student positions at KUNV. Move into a vote. Motion passes 20-2-1.
