*“The University authorizes professors to post copies of their articles on their own web sites or on University web sites, or in other not-for-a-fee venues,” the policy said.*
*“The main effect of this new policy is to prevent them from giving away all their rights when they publish in a journal.”* Very interesting, strange approach. This might actually restrict where professors can publish their work, if the journal doesn't agree to these terms. And I'm not certain if Princeton is *enforcing* that professors must abide by this -- which would be an interesting stage, where professors have to argue to opt-out of open access (not that that would be a good thing...).
