If you are in college, letting your classmates know that they don’t have to pay is a very good way to make friends.

Undergrad will of course have lots of those stupid “pay for your homework” setups. But grad school you don’t usually have to buy shit.

Don’t forget our good friend Anna…

God bless those uploading souls. Everything I know is from spending 20 years scouring for PDFs and epubs.

Wiley? Really? I thought they were generally hated.

Ever heard of open access?

It is university's jobs to collect and disseminate knowledge.

As such, it would make sense for university to host its own journal for scientific research. After all, that is "disseminating knowledge" as well. Universities could do it for the greater good, instead of for profit, at least in sane countries where Universities actually operate for public benefit, not for profit.

Such a journal would have no publishing fees and no access fees. It would undermine the monopoly that Wiley & others have built.
