Controversy
In 2003, the structure of the EMCVT was called into question by Virginia House of Delegates member Robert G. Marshall as a result of content he found objectionable on the program Sex Talk Live aired on VTTV. Marshall called for university officials to provide more oversight over student media on campus.[1] Virginia Tech President Charles Steger responded that he "approached the idea of prior restraint (of student media) with uneasy caution" and the matter was dropped.[2]
In 2015, the editor in chief of the Collegiate Times, Erica Corder, was fired while pursuing a story about EMCVT's finances.[3] This led to the resignation of the assistant editor of the paper. Increased scrutiny on the finances of EMCVT eventually led to the termination of two professional staffers of the company, and to the resignation of the EMCVT General Manager.[4]
