"Yesterday the guide to good practices for university open-access policies passed the milestone of 70,000 page views. http://bit.ly/goodoa  The guide is based on the experience at Harvard and many other institutions around the world. It has been endorsed by the Coalition of Open Access Policy Institutions (COAPI), Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR), Electronic Information for Libraries (EIFL), Enabling Open Scholarship (EOS), Mediterranean Open Access Network (MedOANet), Open Access Directory (OAD), UK Open Access Implementation Group (OAIG), Open Access Scholarly Information Sourcebook (OASIS), Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC), and SPARC Europe.  Disclosure: I maintain the guide with +Stuart Shieber as part of the Harvard Open Access Project. If your institution is considering an OA policy, or if you want it to, please have a look at the guide and spread the word."
