Why should MIT or any university take the lead here? Why not the scholarly societies or an organization like the American Association of University Professors?
Given the wide range of publishing operations and viewpoints, and discipline-specific missions, concerted action from scholarly societies is not likely to be the nexus of needed change. Other organizations that support university faculty have very specific missions that don’t necessarily position them to take an early lead in this area.
