[FC-discuss] [FC-Discuss] Universities and free content

[Fred Benenson]

Free Culture @ NYU is working on a "hit list" this year.

So far we have USC and UH at the top of the list, but it's going to take a
bit of research to find it out about other universities out there. We're
planning on publishing it right when High School seniors have to make a
decision about where they're going to attend university.

We're probably going to do a call for comments / public question thing and
hopefully get people to respond via digg / slashdot / bb.
