COVID-19, IP and video teaching materials

June 15, 2020

Dear Colleagues,

Following up on my note of June 2 on the new IP policy at Brandeis, I want to clarify that Brandeis University is not claiming ownership to instructional video content prepared or contributed by faculty members for online courses as a necessary response to the circumstances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, except in those cases in which there is a separate agreement between the University and the faculty member related either to the specific course materials or to an initiative to create on-line graduate degree programs, the University agrees to not re-use for other purposes the digital materials created for courses offered in the Spring, Summer, and Fall 2020 without the permission of the corresponding faculty member.

Best regards,

Lisa
