Six more provosts endorse FRPAA

Since August 22, when SPARC posted its list of presidents and provosts endorsing FRPAA and OA, six provosts have added their names:
  • Peter Lange, Provost at Duke University
  • Alfred F. MacKay, Provost at Oberlin College
  • Robert L. McGrath, Provost & Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs at Stony Brook University
  • Arthur T. Johnson, Provost at University of Maryland - Baltimore County
  • Bruce L. Mallory, Provost and Executive Vice President at the University of New Hampshire
  • Dana Dunn, Provost at the University of Texas at Arlington

The total is now 54. (There will soon be a running tally on the page.) If you work at a U.S. institution, ask your president or provost to sign on to this call for open access to publicly-funded research. Also point out to them that university administrators who support FRPAA needn't wait for its adoption to foster OA on their own campuses.
