[[Student definitions::Students are the Owners of the copyright of Works for which academic credit is received, including theses, dissertations, scholarly publications, texts, pedagogical materials or other materials.
University Staff and Student-Employees. Works created by University staff and student-employees within the scope of their University employment are considered to be works made for hire, and thus are Works as to which the University is the Owner and controls all legal rights in the Work. In contrast, Works created by University staff and student-employees outside the scope of their University employment are not covered by this Policy and are considered to be owned by the Creators, unless such Works are created through “substantial use of University resources” (as described in Section III of this Policy).]] }} |

Policy provides general guidelines for ownership, but encourages faculty and students to agree on specific written agreements prior to using the work.
This Policy preserves the practice of allowing faculty to own the copyrights to traditional scholarly works, and at the same time seeks to protect the interests of the university in works that are created with the substantial use of university resources. Although this Policy provides guidelines for determining copyright ownership, faculty are strongly encouraged to clarify issues of ownership and revenue sharing by specific written agreements with the Technology Transfer Office at the outset of the project or otherwise as soon as practicable.
Any Work that is not clearly governed by this Policy or by University Policy and Procedure 6-4 (Patents and Inventions) will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis by the University Technology Transfer Office in consultation with the appropriate University administrators.
