Obviously, Principal Anton Muscatelli has been overlooking my active participation in teacher’s-union activities and student demonstrations, and has embraced the open-access ideology I’ve been promulgating all these years. When this announcement came across my email threshold at first, I ignored it — there had to be a catch, since at this point the University is enthralled by the idol of Full Economic Costing. Give anything away? G’wan, you’ve gotta be kidding!
But I saw it on Boing Boing, so it must be true: “One of the core missions of the University is the creation, advancement and sharing of knowledge.” I have the feeling that I’m going to be using that line in at least one grant application.
