Info

Faculty, students, and staff who create a patentable invention must report the invention to the Standing Committee on Intellectual Property, which is appointed by the President. Upon receipt of the information, the University may undertake one of the following actions: seek to acquire the patent, transfer the rights to the research sponsor, or waive ownership rights in favor of the inventor. However, the creator has the right to be paid Creator’s Residual Economic Interest if the University licenses the product and receives income from the product. Under the policy, the schedule of payments to the creator range from 50 % of the first $100,000 to 25 % of the payments over $300,000. Inventions created with nominal use of the University’s materials, supplies, facilities, or services of staff or students belong to the inventor. Where the use of these items is “more than nominal,” the invention belongs to the University. (c) Computer Software and Firmware The University claims ownership to “all software and firmware that is conceived or developed by any person engaged in research at the University.” Annual Review Texas Southern University will conduct annual written reviews of all faculty members based upon “stated criteria. …established by departmental faculty and approved by department chairs and deans, and disseminated to faculty by October 1 of each academic year.” “Annual reviews are to be initiated no later than February 15 of each spring term and be completed no later than April 1 of each spring term…” The criteria established will range from a level deemed most meritorious to one deemed unsatisfactory by departmental standards.” “An annual review finding unsatisfactory performance shall state the basis for finding unsatisfactory performance in accordance with the criteria.” “A report to the dean of unsatisfactory performance as assessed by annual review will be accompanied by a written plan for near-term improvement.” Post Tenure Review Post tenure review is triggered when a faculty member receives unsatisfactory ratings in two consecutive annual reviews. Exemptions are available for mitigating circumstances. A three member ad-hoc committee appointed by the dean in consultation with the faculty member to be reviewed and the department chair would conduct the review. The faculty member will prepare a dossier, which will be added to by the department chair, which forms the record for Committee review. The review will have one of three possible outcomes: No deficiencies identified, or some deficiencies identified, but not substantial, or substantial deficiencies identified. Where substantial deficiencies are found, a professional development plan will be devised by the review committee, faculty member, and department chair and submitted to the dean. Within two years 88
of the initiation of the plan, the department chair will report on the results of the plan. A oneyear extension is available. A failure to meet the terms of the plan as agreed to by the review committee, the department chair and the dean would constitute a basis for the initiation of dismissal proceedings under the applicable tenure policies. 89
