The Dean's office is responsible to the vice-president for Student Affairs, who works with a Trustee Committee of Student Affairs.

With their flanking arrays of twelve smaller masts, each complex occupies the ground space of eleven Pentagons. Operating at 2,000,000 watts, the station will be 40 times more powerful than the biggest commercial stations and three times more powerful than the mightiest military transmitters known to exist...
