Harvard Faculty Adopts Open-Access Requirement

Vooch writes "Harvard University's Faculty of Arts and Sciences adopted a policy this evening that requires faculty members to allow the university to make their scholarly articles available free online." I may not be smart enough to go to college, but at least I can pretend to have a Harvard eduction. I don't think that will be enough to get a gig as a Simpsons writer.

    You don't get an education at Harvard you get status. If you want education then go to school in a community college. Then finish your degree at a state college, You will get a good education there. Going to Harvard will provide you with less of an education. But you will end up doing more work (because the professors don't want to teach or don't know how) If you challange or ask a question for clarification they will itimidate you. Fail you on the details and grade very lightly on the overall idea. If you make it though you may know as much (More or less, being that they tend to only admit top students, that means they will do most of the work themselvs anyways) as anyone else with the same degree but you will have the Status of having a Harvard education. Just to say they have one.
