A new and expansive OA Policy from the University of California.
Apologies for any duplicate posting.

Groundbreaking University of California policy extends free access to
all scholarly articles written by UC employees

Today the University of California expands the reach of its research
publications by issuing a Presidential Open Access Policy, allowing
future scholarly articles authored by all UC employees to be freely
shared with readers worldwide. Building on UC’s previously-adopted
Academic Senate open access (OA) policies, this new policy enables the
university system and associated national labs to provide
unprecedented access to scholarly research authored by clinical
faculty, lecturers, staff researchers, postdoctoral scholars, graduate
students and librarians – just to name a few. Comprising ten campuses,
five medical centers, three national laboratories and nearly 200,000
employees, the UC system is responsible for over 2% of the world’s
total research publications. UC’s collective OA policies now cover
more authors than any other institutional OA policy to date.
