There’s been a bunch of talk about providing publishing subventions for junior faculty of late, though it doesn’t appear that my institution is biting yet.  I missed the Chron article, though; I’ll go check it out.  Thanks!

On a related note, did you happen to see the article in the most recent issue of the Chronicle that proposes universities provide faculty with funds to help defray the costs of monograph publishing?  Not a new idea, but it’s articulated from the point of view of university presses rather than academic authors.
