A brief description of the open access policy, including the date adopted, any incentives or supports provided, and the repository(ies) used:
While the institution does not have an Open Access policy we do provide publishing resources to our faculty and publication access through our campus repository. Current faculty can request support for any journal that requires author payment whether this be subvention charges, page charges, or the online journal fees. The institution currently views OA fees as regressive and, in many cases a publisher profit point. We currently provided an institutional repository (ARMINDA) for faculty publications.
