Many university journals or journals that are part of larger, well-funded institutions have the resources ($) to be OA. Q is how can we work with these journals to convince them to be OA?

Did they give you a reason for charging you for a CC-BY license? Presumably it would be because they would not be able to make $ off your work after licensing it under CC-BY.
