Structure
Because the University of Dayton is a private university, it is theoretically in control of all content produced on university property. However, due to a long-standing agreement with the university, Flyer News has remained independent. The adviser for the paper, Dr. Larry Lain, has been in his position since the late 1980s. Unlike many other private college newspapers, the adviser exists only to provide feedback and advice to the current staff. The holder of the post does not act to censor, edit or otherwise control the content of the newspaper.
The newspaper employs numerous students who fill positions in the news, arts and entertainment, opinions, sports, design, advertising, business, copy editing, photography, web and editorial departments of the newspaper. At the end of each academic year, a panel of senior staff members selects an Editor-in-Chief for the following year. This Editor-in-Chief then selects his or her own staff for the following year.
Unlike many student publications, employees are not paid through an hourly wage or a salary but rather through a scholarship. The amount of the scholarship is based on the position held. The cost of these scholarships, along with all other expenses, are paid by Flyer News through the advertising that is included in the newspaper.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“Vashtar: So it’s finished. A structure to house one man and the greatest treasure of all time.
Senta: And a structure that will last for all time.
Vashtar: Only history will tell that.
Senta: Sire, will he not be remembered?
Vashtar: Yes, he’ll be remembered. The pyramid’ll keep his memory alive. In that he built better than he knew.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
“Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
—Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
“If rightly made, a boat would be a sort of amphibious animal, a creature of two elements, related by one half its structure to some swift and shapely fish, and by the other to some strong-winged and graceful bird.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
