Harvard Faculty Adopts Open-Access Requirement

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the step-in-the-up-direction dept.

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.

    eduction transitive verb

    1. to bring out
    2. deduce

    Maybe everyone who attends Harvard has an eduction ceremony before they leave?? I just hope whoever ends up to educting their scholarly articles uses a better method of spell checking. :-P

    As opposed to being inducted, subjected, injected, inspected, detected, infected, neglected and selected for the school-for-learning-to-talk-through-your-teeth? Toss in a ballgag and it sounds like my last date.

    Hmm I could have sworn their mission was to make sure their yearly endowments topped the GDP of Luxembourg. You mean Harvard doesn't run themselves as a business first? I stand corrected :)
