"A group of prominent University of California faculty say they will
step away from the editorial boards of scientific journals published
by Elsevier until the publishing giant agrees to restart negotiations,
which stalled in February and left the 10-campus system without
subscriptions to some of the world’s top scholarly journals.

"A letter circulating since July 12 throughout the UC system and
already signed by 30 faculty from four UC campuses warns Elsevier that
the signatories will suspend their services on editorial boards of the
28 Cell Press journals, which are among the premier journals in the
field of biology and Elsevier’s flagship publications. About one-third
of all UC Berkeley scientists who serve on editorial boards for Cell
Press have signed the letter."
