From Library Journal:
Another week, another new faculty open access mandate—this one coming from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). MIT becomes the latest in what is becoming a steady stream of faculty approving open access mandates, following Harvard’s groundbreaking OA mandate last year. The policy was approved unanimously at an MIT faculty meeting on Wednesday, March 18.
Unlike previous votes that applied to certain schools, or by faculty councils, such as at Boston University’s recent mandate, MIT’s policy is said to be the first mandate approved in vote by all of an institution’s faculty. The policy went into immediate effect.
