Public radio and TV executive director and CFO fired from Indiana University

Indiana University Radio and Television Services’ (RTVS) executive director and chief financial officer were fired Wednesday, according to a report from WFIU.

Indiana University provost Rahul Shrivastav first told RTVS staff members via email that executive director Brad Kimmel and CFO Christina Lirot were no longer in their positions on Wednesday afternoon. According to WFIU, Shrivastav told leadership that RTVS “was not going in the right direction” following an outside assessment from a consultant who reported that there were “morale issues” among RTVS staff.

Lirot was reportedly escorted out of the RTVS building by a staff member, according to WFIU.

IU spokesperson Mark Bode said IU does not comment on “personnel matters.”

“RTVS’s vital community and university service missions remain a priority for IU, and we aim to ensure even more success and impact from RTVS moving forward,” Bode said in a statement.
