REPORT ON COMMUNICATION FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS OF THE AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION OF VIRGINIA
WITH RESPECT TO THE MEDIA BOARD

The President reviewed with the Board a letter from Mr. Robert P. Dwoskin, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the American Civil Liberties Union, and his response to Mr. Dwoskin with respect to the specific areas of jurisdiction of the Media Board.

The Board concurred in Mr. Hereford's response, which gave assurance that the University's Media Board reflects a continued commitment to freedom of expression at the University, recognizing the importance of free and independent student media, and assuring further that limitations on the Media Board's authority coupled with procedural safeguards insure that the actions of the Media Board have no "chilling effect" on the editors of student run media at the University.
