What would an Open Access mandate mean to you?
This Faculty Council-hosted Town Hall will begin with a panel discussion featuring faculty and student participants from across campus. The Q & A will follow in which broad open access issues will be discussed, as well as the implications of a faculty mandate supporting open access. Harvard School of Education and Stanford School of Education both have open access mandates. Should OISE be the first Canadian Faculty of Education to mandate open access? Come and join the discussion and share your thoughts.
