A student is an employee within the meaning of this policy.Intellectual Property created by a student during such employment or course of studyshall be owned by the entity so designated in the SRA, or if no entity is sodesignated, by the University.

Student Research in the Sciences.In the disciplines of Chemistry, Biology, Physics, and Mathematics, andComputer Science, and Health Sciences, the model for faculty direction ofundergraduate student research is that of master/apprentice. In this setting, allInventions, Courseware, and copyrightable works by students originate primarilyfrom faculty direction of the master/apprentice relationship and are owned by theUniversity under the terms described in sections III. and IV. above.1. Faculty who supervise undergraduate student research have custody andcontrol over all Tangible Research Property (TRP) (See V., TangibleResearch Property), subject to the terms of any grant or SRA. Student7 - 36 Academic Policies and Procedures
_LEE UNIVERSITY FACULTY HANDBOOK & CONSTITUTIONresearchers have the right to access and use TRP, and it is appropriate forthem to have copies in so far as is practicable.2. The faculty advisor decides all matters concerning the publication of researchresults. Such decisions include the timing and choice of manuscriptsubmissions and all issues pertaining to co-authorship and inventorship.3. Graduate student Authors own the Copyrights in their theses, essays, ordissertations, subject to the rights of any co-authors. Student Copyrights maybe limited, however, when student manuscripts are based upon researchconducted under an SRA or when manuscripts are accepted for publication. Inthose cases, the students’ rights will be subject to the rights of the sponsor,which may include prior review of publications, delay of publication for patentfiling, excise of proprietary information or Trade Secrets, or other restrictions.Faculty have the obligation to insure that students involved in sponsoredresearch are aware of and understand the terms of any SRA.4. Students are expected to maintain the confidentiality of proprietary informationand trade secrets belonging to research sponsors and faculty. The Universitymay require students to sign and agree to be bound by confidentialityagreements, reasonable in their scope, when such an agreement is requiredby a research sponsor or otherwise required by the Vice President forAcademic Affairs to protect patentability. Such confidentiality extends not onlyto the research and TRP, but also to information received from Sponsors.5. A student working under an SRA who violates this Policy becomes subject toappropriate academic discipline, including termination from his or heracademic program, for the unauthorized oral, written, or electronic release ofTRP to a third person not a party to the SRA.B. Research and Scholarship in the HumanitiesIn the departments of the humanities, the model for faculty direction ofstudents is that of critic or reviewer of independent scholarship. Thus,independent student scholars own the Copyrights, without limitation or license, totheir written theses, essays, dissertations, or other copyrighted works and TRP.However, graduate students who assist faculty advisors by performing specificresearch tasks or functions or who become a scholarly collaborator of a facultymember are not independent scholars. In such a situation, rights to IntellectualProperty are those described in paragraph XI., A. above.C. Research and Scholarship in Business, and the Social SciencesIn the College of Education, and the Departments of Business,Communication, and Behavioral and Social Sciences, the model for facultydirection of students may be either that of master/apprentice or reviewer/critic ofindependent scholarship. Students should clarify their relationships with facultyadvisors and note the above policies applicable to each model before undertakinga project. In the absence of a mutual understanding between faculty and student,the relationship will be determined by the Dean of the appropriate College.7 - 37 Academic Policies and Procedures
