Speaker promotes open access policy - Pipe Dream

"If an open-access policy was fully implemented on campus, all course materials would be required to be open access and most, if not all, research would be freely accessible. The College Board estimates that a student’s yearly cost of textbooks and supplies is around $1,298; that number would decrease significantly for BU students if the University chose to implement an open-access policy, according to Shockey. He said the benefits of using open-access materials extend far beyond the financial realm."
