Student Organizations Support Open Access

A group of student organizations have signed a statement of support for open access, according to a SPARC press release. Full text of the statement can be found at RightToResearch.org. From the SPARC press release:

“As both taxpayers and students, we deserve access to the research that our tuition and tax dollars have financed,” said Nick Shockey, recent graduate and Student Senator at Trinity University in San Antonio. “Our education should not be limited by the number of journal subscriptions our library can afford – a number that is drastically shrinking with recession-induced budget cuts at universities across the country.”

Thanks to Gavin Baker at Open Access News for the link.
