                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: May 28, 2010

   By the District Director, New York Office, Northeast Region, Enforcement
   Bureau:

    1. This is a Notice of Violation ("Notice") issued pursuant to Section
       1.89 of the Commission's Rules to Seton Hall University, licensee of
       FM radio station WSOU in South Orange, New Jersey. This Notice may be
       combined with a further action, if further action is warranted.

    2. On May 6, 2010, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's New York Office
       inspected WSOU's main studio located at 400 South Orange Avenue, South
       Orange, NJ 07079, and observed the following violations:

   47 C.F.R. S: 11.52(d): "Broadcast stations and cable systems and wireless
   cable systems must monitor two EAS sources. The monitoring assignments of
   each broadcast station and cable system and wireless cable system are
   specified in the State EAS Plan and FCC Mapbook. . . ." At the time of
   inspection, the agent determined that WSOU was monitoring only one source.

    3. As the nation's emergency warning system, the Emergency Alert System
       is critical to public safety, and we recognize the vital role that
       broadcasters play in ensuring its success. The Commission takes
       seriously any violations of the Rules implementing the EAS and expects
       full compliance from its regulatees. Pursuant to Section 403 of the
       Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 1.89 of the
       Commission's Rules, we seek additional information concerning the
       violation(s) and any remedial actions the station may have taken. 
       Therefore, Seton Hall University must submit a written statement
       concerning this matter within twenty (20) days of release of this
       Notice. The response (i) must fully explain each violation, including
       all relevant surrounding facts and circumstances, (ii) must contain a
       statement of the specific action(s) taken to correct each violation
       and preclude recurrence, and (iii) must include a time line for
       completion of any pending corrective action(s). The response must be
       complete in itself  and must not be abbreviated by reference to other
       communications or answers to other notices.

    4. In accordance with Section 1.16 of the Commission's Rules, we direct
       Seton Hall University to support its response to this Notice with an
       affidavit or declaration under penalty of perjury, signed and dated by
       an authorized officer of Seton Hall University with personal knowledge
       of the representations provided in Seton Hall University's response,
       verifying the truth and accuracy of the information therein, and
       confirming that all of the information requested by this Notice which
       is in the licensee's possession, custody, control, or knowledge has
       been produced. To knowingly and willfully make any false statement or
