| Student definitions:
|
In some circumstances, it is difficult to determine whether and to what extent students are acting as agents or employees of the institution. Accordingly, written agreements with students regarding copyright should be executed whenever the University or its representatives have any doubt about copyright ownership of student-created works in which the University believes it has ownership or other interests.

Policy encourages professors to make their materials available to the University community. However, limits that use to prevent works that undermine or compete with University activities.
