We believe that the vast majority of WUSC DJs were not as intimidated or scared of last semester's leadership as Chris Carroll would have the Board of Publications to believe. This belief is based on our own, anonymous, informal survey. We believe that with these two facts apparent, the legitimacy of Chris Carroll's usurpation of authority becomes void. With these facts in hand, we believe that Chris Carroll had no right to take control of the station last week, and that he has no right to maintain control of it now. Beyond these facts, we believe that the action of placing an administrator in charge of a student media organization under any circumstances would be illegitimate.
Students can prove to be capable leaders if they are given the chance to do so.
Only with full information can people in power make the correct decisions. Last semester, we were never privy to any of the information that Chris Carroll maintained regarding the alleged violations. Had he given us the information, we could have rectified any problems that might have existed. We were capable enough to do our jobs with the proper support from the University. In this meeting we were summarily dismissed with no warning.
