In the event that a faculty member wishes to assign a required or optional textbook and/or materials that are self-authored, the faculty member who authored the text or materials will give the immediate supervisor notice of this fact, since assignment of such text could result in a potential or actual conflict of interest. The immediate supervisor, or designee, will then convene an independent review textbook committee composed of the faculty member’s peers. In no event shall the review committee include the faculty member who authored the materials. This committee will evaluate the textbook’s efficacy as a student learning tool, proposed cost and other relevant factors and, thereafter, approve or deny it for use in the class. This process will also be used for other course materials authored or owned by a faculty member.
