Faculty meeting held at Nassau Hall
Members of the University faculty discussed a series of curriculum alterations and modifications to the University's policy on intellectual property during their monthly meeting in Nassau Hall yesterday afternoon.The curriculum changes will include additions and cancellations of courses to next year's course catalogue.These changes will affect the chemistry, classics, geosciences, molecular biology, psychology and religion departments, as well as the Program for the Study of Women and Gender.The University policy on intellectual property, which the faculty discussed at length, covers ownership of copyrights for computer programs and in cases where the University provides substantial resources for the development of a work, as well as conflicts associated with electronic courseware.In the spring of 2000, the faculty appointed four members to the Ad-Hoc Committee on Intellectual Property to address major concerns with the policy.
