INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND RESIDUAL RIGHTS. The Board recognizes the traditional rights of a faculty member to maintain full ownership of and benefits from any works produced on his/her own unless the College compensates the faculty member for such development or College resources are used. Such work includes, but is not limited to, literary, musical, or artistic compositions; inventions; processes created or materials authored. If a faculty member uses College resources, the faculty member and Xxxxxxx, or designees, shall mutually agree to the management of intellectual property and allocation of residual rights. College resources (for the purposes of this article) shall not include the use of the College library, office space, or College owned computer therein. It is understood that a faculty member’s lesson plans and materials created in support of those lesson plans (such as, but not limited to, class notes, handouts, presentations, and tests) are the property of the faculty member. A faculty member compensated for the creation of an online course template shall not retain ownership of the template. When the College compensates a faculty member for the creation of a new online or hybrid course, or for the creation of a complete course from an existing online or hybrid template, the College shall retain ownership of the course materials that were developed up the point the online or hybrid course is deemed to be complete and acceptable by the Xxxxxxx or designee following the recommendation of the Online Course Review Committee.
