Higher education, library groups release net neutrality principles

摘要

In July, higher education and library organizations representing thousands of colleges, universities and libraries nationwide released a joint set of Net Neutrality Principles they recommend form the basis of an upcoming Federal Communications Commission (FCC) decision to protect the openness of the Internet. The groups believe network neutrality protections are essential to protecting freedom of speech, educational achievement and economic growth. The organizations endorsing these principles are American Association of Community Colleges, American Association of State Colleges and Universities, American Council on Education, American Library Association (ALA), Association of American Universities, Association of Public and Land-grant Universities, Association of Research Libraries (ARL), Chief Officers of State Library Agencies, EDUCAUSE, Modern Language Association and the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities.
