Still working on getting those 2006 federal or state taxes filed?

The tax deadline of April 16th (April 15th is a Sunday) is quickly approaching! Don't forget that the IRS makes all federal tax forms available on their web site. Many states also make forms downloadable from their web sites. Go to the
Minnesota Department of Revenue to access state forms

53 Private College Presidents Show Support for FRPAA

The Federal Public Research Access Act (FRPAA) introduced in May 2006, is a bill which would require "federal agencies to publish their findings, online and free, within six months of their publication elsewhere". In July, 25 Provosts of large national institutions issued a letter in support of this legislation. Today in an article in Inside Higher Education (http://insidehighered.com/news/2006/09/06/access) the lead article referred to a letter signed by 53 Presidents of Oberlin Group institutions also in support of this legislation. I am very pleased to report that President Brian Rosenberg was one of the 53. Although a number of scholarly publishers have come out opposed to this legislation, the benefits to making research that is funded by taxpayers available to a broader audience cannot be disputed. For more information about FRPAA see the SPARC Resources Page at http://www.arl.org/sparc/resources/frpaa.html
