Opening the Ivory Tower

Interesting article looking at how Harvard University is bucking the trend toward open access - mostly, suggests the author, so it can continue to charge ridiculous fees - and how some Harvard students are bucking Harvard, distributing class notes through sites like Finalsclub.org, "a Facebook-meets-Wikipedia Web site meant to meet all your study needs." The site was closed when Harvard threatened the students with expulsion, but has been revamped and reopened (it may be blocked again or lagging from the widespread exposure). Via Mike Caulfiel.
