Presumably one of the agenda items will be the AAU’s efforts to develop a profitable “Campus Climate Survey” to compete with Jennifer Freyd’s free open-source alternative. The AAU has a pretty bloated administrative structure, paying both their current president (Hunter Rawlings) and what looks like an extra year’s salary to their past president (Bob Berdahl):
So it’s no wonder they’re not willing to give this a creative commons license or open source it like Freyd did. Their RFP for the Campus Climate survey is here: Looks like the AAU intends to keep the intellectual property for themselves instead of putting it in the public domain, and presumably they’ll charge non-AAU schools for using it:
All intellectual property developed related to and as a result of this project shall be retained and solely owned by AAU, with participating universities retaining ownership and control (including use for further research and/or publication) of the individual institutional data. The AAU retains the right, at its sole discretion, to utilize a different platform and/or vendor in future administrations of the survey.
