Institution-wide access to a commercial model for all staff
An administrator describes access to a commercial model being extended to all staff, both teaching and administrative, and frames it as a move from isolated or experimental use to integration across the university. Universal access changes the equity question from who can afford a subscription to what the institution has licensed.

Evidence
The reported evidence on the effect of the practice. Evidentiary strength varies between practices; it is reproduced here as the source reports it.
An administrator of the institution describes the change and its scope; a teacher at another institution reports the same pattern with a different vendor, which supports reading it as a trend rather than a single case.
