Resolution 92-93-12

Intellectual Property; Faculty Research; Space Allocation

Whereas, The Faculty Senate Research Committee, consisting of members from the Faculty and Administration, has considered proposed University policies on Research Space Allocation, Intellectual and Tangible Property and Organized Research Units and has come to agreement on modifications to them. The modified policies were presented for perusal and consideration to the Senate University Council on December 9, 1992 and to the full Senate on December 16, 1992 with a request by the Research Committee for written comments. The few comments received were reviewed in detail by the Research Committee on January 5, 1993 and accommodated in re-revised documents distributed to the Faculty Senators prior to the Faculty Senate meeting of January 20, 1993. Therefore Be It Resolved By The Faculty Senate That, The Faculty Senate commends the proposed University policies, as revised, on Research Space Allocation, Intellectual and Tangible Property and Organized Research Units to the Provost of the University for approval, dissemination and implementation. Recognizing that further revisions may be deemed necessary by the Provost, the Faculty Senate authorizes its Executive Board to resolve them within the spirit of the commended policies.
