Education faculty: I respect the UC's decision to walk away.
The problem is that faculty are "graded" on their research impact by published articles. We need to look at the impact on how faculty are assessed/measured, and whether they are incentivized to make their research #OpenAccess so it has a larger impact.
Library dean: We are culpable in this. We are the reason Elsevier exists. We do all the work. We do the research. And they make all the money!
Audience: For PDFs that are going to be open eventually anyways!
