Policy doesn't differentiate between creative / traditional works & courseware / teaching materials. * Policy discusses general copyright ownership information. It first provides the exceptions that give university ownership and then makes general statements that author owns works not falling into the exceptions.
Policy is unclear w/r/t/ student works.
Policy seems to indicate that faculty members are considered "employees" of the university.
