| [[Creative definitions::Substantial Use of University Resources. Because of advancing technology, new forms of educational materials are being developed which require a substantially greater level of direct support from the university than does the writing of a "traditional" textbook and the like. The extraordinary use or purchase of equipment and production facilities, computers, and the expertise of a variety of individuals with special training may be required to augment the talents of an author. When the investment of time and money by the author and the university differs substantially from that involved in the creation of customary educational material, as defined by departmental norms, such material shall be designated as university-sponsored and the university may claim copyright.

The policy is somewhat clear overall, but provides little guidance for professors who want to post oer. Courseware may or may not fall under the traditional teaching functions mentioned in the policy. It may also fall under works using "substantial use of University resources."
