Since my alma mater is on that list I've taken a bit of interest in this, and can't for the life of me figure out exactly what they're supposedly doing to support right wingers. All I can think of is the possibility that their football games are being carried on the offending stations, but the linked article doesn't mention that.

Beyond that, 'helping trump with voter suppression' sounds like a hell of a stretch. HOW is my university helping Tiny with voter suppression? It never actually explains that. I'm quite certain that the one and only university radio station isn't broadcasting right wing propaganda, it's just your typical college radio station which plays an eclectic mix of music as well as broadcasts the games of a few sports other than football (baseball, women's basketball, and softball mostly).
