Yeah, that's an odd claim when it is more the adequate to say that MIT is closely observed by other technical institutions worldwide.

The difference in approach, outcome and size of expenditure between MIT and the University of California System in their negotiations with Elsevier interests university libraries everywhere when considering their own publications strategies. It is great that both institutions have been open about their budgets, their negotiation stance, and the outcome.
