Free the research papers!
Today's NY Times has a piece by Amy Harmon about a new project by leading scientists to create free, online, peer-reviewed journals that get research widely disseminated without the delays and fees associated with the more traditional print-journal approach.

It's only half the battle; you have to get the administration to accept them as equivalent to published journals, too. (I think a prof at CWRU got dinged for this; I have no first hand knowledge, though.)
