In a letter sent to CPB President Patricia Harrison Friday, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) questioned the constitutionality of the corporation’s revised Community Service Grant diversity requirements.
In October, CPB’s board agreed to scale back diversity requirements for its CSG program, instead requiring grant recipients to adopt a “Community Representation Statement” detailing plans and goals for representing their community. These statements must be posted on stations’ websites or made available at their offices. The policy does not require grantees to detail specific measures they take to reflect community diversity.
