Universities to Transition from OpenScholar
IT departments at Ivy League Universities have recently informed stakeholders about the impending discontinuation of support for OpenScholar projects. The majority of current OpenScholar websites, widely used in these esteemed academic institutions, are built on the Drupal 7 web platform, which is approaching its end of life. Despite the announcement of extended support during DrupalCon, the universities are now setting their sights on a more accessible and modern platform, prompting the transition from the existing OpenScholar framework.
OpenScholar, a widely utilized content management system (CMS), has served as a vital tool for faculty, researchers, and academic staff across Ivy League Universities. However, with the Drupal 7 platform nearing its end of life, the IT departments are taking proactive steps to ensure a seamless transition to a more sustainable and advanced web infrastructure.

The universities remain committed to maintaining an unwavering focus on accessibility, ensuring their web presence remains inclusive and user-friendly for all visitors. With the transition to more modern web platforms, Ivy League Universities aim to continue their legacy of excellence in both academia and digital innovation.
