The open access policy:

Open access is strategic for Carnegie Mellon. Open access disseminates as broadly as possible works authored by the CMU community, encouraging use and increasing citations and impact. Open access also enables the CMU community to access works authored elsewhere around the world, many of which the University Libraries cannot afford to purchase.

A brief description of how the institution’s library(ies) support open access to research:

CMU Libraries offers a number of ways to help scholars fund open access publishing, from providing funding to maintaining memberships that will help scholars pay less to publish their research. One initiative is assistance for paying Article Processing Charges (APCs).
