The mission of KHSU-FM is to educate, enrich, enlighten, and entertain people throughout Northwestern California and Southwestern Oregon by providing innovative, high-quality public radio programming.

As a public service of Cal Poly Humboldt University, KHSU strives to present thoughtful and intelligent perspectives on local, national, and international issues. Its objectives include fostering the arts, sciences, and humanities, giving voice to underrepresented points of view, serving minority as well as majority needs, and both guiding and reflecting public intellect and taste.

"Diverse Public Radio" and "KHSU" are service marks of the Board of Trustees of the California State University. 

KHSU Commitment to Diversity

KHSU adheres to federal law regarding workforce diversity goals articulated in the Federal Communications Commission regulations on Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) as stated in 47CFR § 73.2080: "Equal opportunity in employment shall be afforded by all licensees or permittees of commercially or non-commercially operated AM, FM, TV, Class A TV or international broadcast stations (as defined in this part) to all qualified persons, and no person shall be discriminated against in employment by such stations because of race, color, religion, national origin, or sex."

In addition, KHSU is licensed to Cal Poly Humboldt and follows the policies and guidelines of the university, including the university's commitment to diversity. Cal Poly Humboldt has a longstanding commitment to institutionalizing diversity, equity, and inclusion in all areas of its work, including KHSU.

Cal Poly Humboldt affirms and protects the rights of students, employees, and the public to seek and obtain the services of the University without discrimination. No employee, student, or member of the public shall, on the basis of race, color, gender, religion, age, sexual orientation, marital status, pregnancy, disability, veteran status, or national or ethnic origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of or be otherwise subjected to unlawful discrimination, including discriminatory harassment, under any program of the University.

Furthermore, as a department of Cal Poly Humboldt, KHSU participates in the Cal Poly Humboldt Campus Diversity Plan 2013+. This campus-wide diversity plan provides the mechanism for benchmarking and evaluating success in meeting the university's stated goals relative to diversity.
