LA GRANDE â Eastern Oregon Universityâs student-run FM radio station, KEOL, may go silent after the school year.
KEOL is receiving $33,481 in 2020-21 from the universityâs Student Fee Committee and asked for $33,606 for 2021-22. But the committee voted not to fund KEOL in 2021-22.
âIt was a very tough decision,â said Keegan Sanchez, vice chair of the Student Fee Committee and Easternâs student body president.
The Student Fee Committee, which voted to defund KEOL on Feb. 5, determines how much money from student incidental fees is to go to 20 student organizations and programs on campus. The student senate earlier this week approved the recommendations. They must next receive the approval of EOU President Tom Insko and EOU Board of Trustees.
