Intellectual Property

Faculty is reminded that AUHS is a proprietary institution. The University regards work produced as a result of regular fulltime employment with the University to be AUHS owned intellectual property. Therefore, contents of the course portfolio including the course syllabi, plus any additional tests, power-points or other hand-out materials are considered the sole property of and owned in its entirety by the University, and thus expected to be surrendered when the faculty member resigns/terminates. Furthermore, work done on evaluation, assessment, accreditation, or other joint work done as a regular faculty member is also consider owned by the University as are any materials posted on the Website, confidential business secrets, program descriptions, catalogue or handbook materials or other AUHS work product. This policy is not intended to interfere with the faculty academic freedoms as described later in this document.
