KUTE, the U’s student-run radio station, got a break last night when the ASUU General Assembly unanimously passed a bill giving KUTE $4,500 in funding.
Joint Bill 14 will now go before the Associated Students of the University of Utah Senate on Thursday night. If the joint bill passes in the Senate, the money would allow the station to resume its online broadcast stream.
