Colleges tend to require that student organizations be run by 
students.  In particular, they tend to require that the officers of a 
student organization be graduate or undergraduate students. Since the 
station is usually licensed to the Board of Trustees, the college 
administration will take control if they find that people who don't 
have a connection to the college are running things.

I realize that WMBR and WHRB are licensed to separate foundations, 
not the school, but the schools have other ways of preventing 
outsiders from getting control.  In the case of WMBR, the studios are 
on MIT property.  I don't know whether this is true of WHRB.
