OU's policy is very clear in that it takes a case-by-case approach to most copyright situations, including ownership of courseware, works that use substantial university resources, and "institutional works." Policy advocates creating specific agreements before project begins. Doesn't provide too much detail regarding default rules.
In accord with Ohio University's academic tradition, except to the extent required by the terms of specific funding agreements, the University does not claim ownership to pedagogical, scholarly, or artistic works, regardless of their form of expression. Such works include those of students created in the course of their education, such as dissertations, papers, and articles. The University claims no ownership of popular nonfiction, novels, poems, musical compositions, unpatented software, or other works of artistic imagination that are not Institutional Works (see sub-section III, immediately below). If title to copyright in works defined within this section vests in the University as a "work for hire," the University may convey copyright to the creators of such works.
