Re: U of Chicago License

Our campus lawyer suggests we ask for a change to Utah law, but if this is
declined, ask them just to strike the clause, leaving everybody on a
presumably equal footing. Margaret Landesman

Please forgive me if this has already been discussed, but I am hoping you
can lend some advice.  We would like to go ahead and sign the license
agreement for electronic journals from University of Chicago Press, but
the final clause, "This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the
State of Illinois and the United States....," is bothersome as our
institution is in Wisconsin.  How have other institutions handled this
clause?

Thank you!
