Editor's Notes
- #5 Regent’s Rules Chapter 10 Adopted in 2008, revised in 2015 Operating Procdure 74.4 “Works for hire” – scholarly works are most often exempted from being considered works for hire. Articles, books typically exempt. Online resources, syllabi, test materials, “University Sponsored Educational Materials” are claimed as works for hire. BUT NOT AT TECH This is where patents get a little iffy also. Read your contract and know what the intellectual property guidelines are at your institution.
