What do you mean by "right when students have to make a decision about where they're going to attend university"? Couldn't you just publish it at any time? If I recall correctly, this is college application writing season, but school courting is an ongoing process that can take up most of high school for some people.

I think such a list would make a nice splash almost regardless of timing. I say get it out there whenever it's ready.

So far we have USC and UH at the top of the list, but it's going to take a bit of research to find it out about other universities out there. We're planning on publishing it right when High School seniors have to make a decision about where they're going to attend university.

We're probably going to do a call for comments / public question thing and hopefully get people to respond via digg / slashdot / bb.

It would be great if someone would start systematically finding out if
universities restrict their students' access to their own work and
documenting the results on e.g. wiki.freeculture.org so others can
contribute to the search.

I think I've before wondered about having an archive of schools with
particularly freedom-effacing IT policies.  Both would surely be useful!
