WUEV spared, for now...but...

From: President Stephen Jennings

I was pleased to see the level of interest in WUEV expressed by students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents and the general community. It is gratifying to see the amount of support the station enjoys. Based on this input, and our knowledge of the station, we will:

1. Call on our new Vice President for Academic Affairs to provide recommendations on how to increase the academic component related to WUEV.
2. Ask John C. Barner, vice president of Institutional Advancement; Marcia Dowell, director of University Relations; and Mike Crowley, station manager for WUEV; to design and execute a plan to reduce expenses and increase community support for WUEV -- including the establishment of a "Friends of WUEV" support organization and increase friends and volunteer support.

At a point in the future I will review the success of these initiatives to see if we should reconsider other options.

There is a lot of discussion on the <a href=http://www.savewuev.com>Save WUEV SITE</a> on what this all means, and the next steps, as well as theories on who the players were in this offer.
 
Good to hear :)

I think it is a safe assumption that there will be at least a little more community support for the station after this.
 
Re: lots of chicken and egg scenerios

It's good that WUEV will stay on. However, there is the usual skeptisism coming from supporters about the UE's management to carry out this plan. Many people feel the management currently in charge(this includes Stephens) is incapable of carrying out the master plan as they state they will and that WUEV will eventually be the scapegoat again.

I usually feel that way about Broadcast Radio in general, but then again....

Re: lots of chicken and egg scenerios

If you look at the SaveWEUV board, and listent to the comments from the "leadership" at UE, it does not look like the current players, will be able to pull it off. Even the current GM, has not helped the cause, but he may have been hancuffed by the others. Perhaps getting the station out from the PR department would be a good start. Then from there, looking at the rest of the issues.
