Free expression: A Cal state university administration bristles over ‘risque’ fundraiser on student radio station

A San Luis Obispo California state university is considering its options including selling the license of their student-run FM radio station after a fundraiser offering photos of student DJs’ genitals in return for donations. School administrators have asked the station’s faculty adviser to develop a plan to prevent future incidents and to improve the educational value of the station.

Starting May 17, Cal Poly administrators suspended the program run by two student DJs. Logan Cooper, one of the DJs, said that the university provides scant funding to the station and said the fundraiser was just something “fun, risqué, unique.” (Student Press Law Center, July 21, 2014, by Jenna Spoont)
