Quinnipiac University pulls plug on college station

Quinnipiac University in Hamden, CT recently removed the tower for their student run FM station. No notice was given to the students, as they simply returned to school with WQAQ off the air. According to a campus official the tower was removed "because it was an unsightly eyesore right in the center of campus." They are in danger of losing their license should they not replace the tower within the next year.

One could write Quinnipiac president John Lahey and encourage him to replace WQAQ's tower at:
Quinnipiac University
275 Mt. Carmel Ave.
Hamden, CT 06518

I think that is was extremely selfish of the administration to remove the antennae tower for WQAQ without vote or warning, and to not even try to replace it with a sensible alternative. The administration must not care about there radio program at all, which is really sad for all the future radio junkies that pass through Quinnipiac. Truly a disaster, and I hope they make it right very soon.
