Student Organizations

Purpose

This organization is established to create and maintain an interest in radio as a medium of communication. Its function shall be to provide a programming service primarily for Louisiana Tech University, including students, faculty, and employees, and secondarily for the remaining broadcasting area. In addition, participants involved in KLPI will obtain actual working experience in the operation of a radio station. KLPI will enforce and uphold the policies, rules, and regulations of the FCC and Louisiana Tech University.

Membership requirements

Membership in KLPI is open to any person enrolled at Louisiana Tech University without restriction to race, creed, orientation, sex, national origin, age, or disability. Membership in KLPI shall be comprised of three (3) groups: Trainee Members, Junior Members, and Senior Members. Subsection A: Trainee Members Trainee Members shall be Louisiana Tech University students who apply for membership. Each Trainee Member must complete one quarter of training under the Executive Staff Members. Training will include teaching the history of KLPI, operation of the booth and equipment, rules and requirements that every KLPI member must follow to gain Junior and Senior Membership. A Trainee may not have voting privileges until passing all requirements, and may not under any circumstances hold an Executive Staff position. Subsection B: Junior Members Junior Members shall be student members who have completed training to the satisfaction of the Personnel Director and who have been voted in by a simple majority of Executive Staff. Junior Members may hold Executive Staff positions in special circumstances, (as determined by the Executive Staff, and in such a case, the member in question immediately becomes a Senior Member). Junior Members also include Senior Members who have been demoted as the result of an official written warning. NOTE: This has nothing to do with current academic classification. Subsection C: Senior Members To become eligible for Senior Membership ranking, a member must complete at least one full quarter as a Junior Member, and have not received any written warnings for violations of the rules or guidelines established by the Executive Staff and stated in the Constitution the previous quarter. Additionally, Senior Members are eligible for Executive Staff positions. NOTE: This has nothing to do with current academic classification.

* All student organizations have a minimum GPA requirement of 2.0 for general membership and 2.5 for Executive Officers.
