The State of the University Press
Historically, Kiely explains, an understanding has existed between university presses and their affiliated schools that the presses are publishing primarily to disseminate scholarly information. That's a valuable service, you might say, that feeds the public good, regardless of profit. "But at the same time," he adds, "as everything gets tight [regarding] the universities and the amount of money they spend on supporting their presses, those things get looked at very carefully."
