Five Universities Sign Open Access Funding Compact

Isn't this the model which those who signed onto one open access 
publisher's "author charge per article deposit account system" 
found themselves being billed for tens thousands of dollars . . . 
in the instance that 10 or 20 of their authors were published 
with that publisher?

With article fees of 2 or 3 thousand dollars it was a frightening 
scenario for small institutions.

Subject: Five Universities Sign Open Access Funding Compact

" . . .five schools at the forefront of the open access debate --
Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, MIT,
and UC Berkeley -- have announced their joint support for 'A
Compact on Open-Access Publishing.' The release accompanying the
Compact touts the economic advantages of a robust author-pays
option for scholarly publishing, and urges the academic community
to step up university-wide efforts to make the author-pays model
more viable."
