The UNCG Library has adopted a robust policy on open access for all

http://library.uncg.edu/services/scholarly_communication/open_access_policy.aspx
To reduce barriers to open access publishing and to support UNCG's full-time faculty, full-time EPA employees, and enrolled graduate students who choose open access publishing as the best venue for their work, the University Libraries and the Office of Research & Economic Development established the Open Access Publishing Fund, which is funded at $11,500.

The library is not a separate research-producing division but is integrated throughout the campus. Nevertheless, their policy is not binding for all the other units on campus. The UNCG Faculty Senate may take up this issue in the near future but it has not been a priority due to other more pressing matters.
