UC IP policy comments
 | The UC IP policy is due for updating and arguably needs a major overhaul to reflect new opportunities and a more progressive strategy. This is a draft - feel free to improve. |
Issues to be addressed include:
Open licensing
- Allow and promote a more open access / open licensing approach, such as use of Creative Commons licensing.
Use of student work
- Use of student work by staff for teaching, research, and service purposes: e.g., does a staff member (and UC) need to obtain permission from a student to pass on a copy of his/her work to another student or to make it publically available? If so, do we need/have a standard permissions form and procedure? (this issue is partly addressed in the UC copyright guidelines
).
Training
"High-school teachers and college professors receive next to no training on copyright law and fair-use doctrine, a new report argues, and their students are suffering as a result."
