FYI, I just sent my manager at the Yale's Office of Digital
Dissemination a report + overview on the OA initiative, including
relevant links, key quotations, excerpts from the press release and
the o...@yale student proposal, and other relevant details. I'll let you
all know how things are progressing on my front. Luckily I have a good
in with the administration at the strategic level (my office is one
tier down from the Secretary of the University) for these kinds of
issues.
Cheers,
—Matt
P.S. Special thanks to all of you who contributed ideas and thoughts
the last couple weeks on Open Yale Courses. Great to have such thought-
out feedback, and I will definitely be including much of it into my
report.

nvm, found it here:
The compact for open-access publishing equity supports equity of the
business models by committing each university to "the timely
establishment of durable mechanisms for underwriting reasonable
publication charges for articles written by its faculty and
published in
fee-based open-access journals and for which other institutions would
not be expected to provide funds."

i agree, this could be a great thing to rally around.
can someone help me understand what the compact actually means? is
it
anything more than a symbolic gesture of "yeah, i'm into this.
totally."?

Guys, this would be a GREAT campaign to get all of our respective
universities to sign on.

Subject: Open Access Compact
(Big) news:
This was announced today: Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, MIT, and UC
Berkeley "announced their joint commitment to a compact for
open-access publication."

Any idea if Yale was invited?
Here's the website of the compact: http://www.oacompact.org/
