Below, forwarded by Gavin Baker at SPARC, is the announcement of a very
welcome and useful student statement in support of institutional OA
mandates.
---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Gavin Baker gavin -- arl.org
Prof. Harnad,
I wanted to call your attention to the just-released Student Statement
on The Right to Research, endorsed by several national student
organizations and supported by SPARC, which calls for universities
to adopt open access policies:
http://www.righttoresearch.org/
This adds students' voices to those of faculty and librarians in
support of institutional OA mandates.
I appreciate any help you can give in spreading the word.
Thanks,
Gavin Baker

I would also draw students' attention to the article "The University's
Mandate to Mandate Open Access," which I wrote at Gavin's invitation in
Open Students:
