EXTRA: It has been said that most university presses operate at a loss and are subsidized by their parent universities. Do you believe this is still true today?
DUFFY: The University of Chicago Press is one of the few university presses that is self-sustaining.
At all university presses, however, the regular publication of scholarly monographs requires subsidy; a number of presses have developed successful lines of books (especially regional and reference) to help subsidize the publication of monographs. Subsidy from a host institution can take many forms: outright pledges of funds to cover operating deficits, rent, benefits, etc.
