[Luis Ibanez]

Adopt a policy 1:
=============

In hiring, promotion, and tenure,  the university will give
due weight to all peer-reviewed publications, regardless
of price or medium.

The university will stop using criteria that penalize and
deter publication in OA journals. All criteria that depend
essentially on prestige or impact factors fall into this
category.

Adopt a policy 2:
=============

Faculty who publish articles must either (1) retain copyright,
and transfer only the right of first print and electronic publication,
 or (2) transfer copyright but retain the right of postprint archiving.

Adopt a policy 3:
=============

All theses and dissertations, upon acceptance, must be made
openly accessible, for example, through the institutional repository
or one of the multi-institutional OA archives for theses and dissertations.


Adopt a policy 4:
=============

All conferences hosted at your university will provide open access
to their presentations or proceedings, even if the conference also
chooses to publish them in a priced journal or book. This is compatible
with charging a registration fee for the conference.
