Open Access Task Force

Charge

The Open Access Task Force was appointed by the chair of faculty in February 2014 as a result of two resolutions from the Administrative Board of the Library and the Copyright Committee respectively:

“The Administrative Board of the Library will delegate someone to present to the Faculty Council Executive Committee a proposal to appoint a cross-campus faculty committee to consider an institutional rights-retention-with-opt-out policy.”

“The University Committee on Copyright proposes that the  Faculty Executive Committee appoint a cross-campus faculty committee to consider an institutional rights-retention-with-opt-out policy.  The University Committee on Copyright further offers to work with the Administrative Board of the Library and the Faculty Executive Committee to develop the slate of members for the committee.”

The Task Force’s charter document is here.
