The Rutgers University Senate will vote on October 19, 2012, on a resolution to
"establish, in consultation with University Counsel, a University-wide Open Access policy wherein Rutgers faculty and scholars, including graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, shall provide open access to all works that are produced without expectation of payment, subject to waivers and embargoes upon request by an individual author for a specific work. "
In practice, this means
Rutgers authors deposit legal copies of scholarly articles into the University's digital repository (RUcore), at no cost to them, making scholarship freely accessible to readers and researchers on the Internet.
