Katie Fortney at the University of California (UC) Office of Scholarly
Communication writes:

''In November 2015, the editorial board of Lingua, a linguistics journal
published by Elsevier, resigned en masse to begin a new open access journal,
Glossa. […] Several UC linguistics faculty have now issued a statement
declaring their support for the new journal and urging their colleagues and
the UC libraries to no longer support Lingua. In response, the UC libraries
have informed Elsevier that they wish to cancel their subscription to Lingua.
[…] In making this statement of support for Glossa, the UC Linguistics faculty
have joined their colleagues at institutions like the University of Wisconsin
Milwaukee and MIT; in addition MIT recently announced its support for Open
Library of Humanities, which is supporting Glossa's move to its new home at
Ubiquity Press.''
