mandatory for all University personnel, for persons not
employed by the University but who use University
facilities in the development of intellectual property,
and for those who receive grant or contract funds
through the University. Exemptions from such
assignments may be authorized in those circumstances
where the mission of the University is better served by
such action, provided that the overriding obligations to
other parties are met and such exemptions are not
inconsistent with other Board of Regents' policies or
University regulations.

successors or assigns, a royalty share of the net

Per Invention Share Share
($) (%) (%)

shall share equally in the inventor's share of net
proceeds, unless all inventors previously have agreed in
writing to a differing distribution of such share.
Distribution of the inventor's share shall be made no less
than annually. In the event of any litigation, actual or
imminent, or any other action to protect patent rights,
the University may withhold distribution of all royalty
proceeds until resolution of the matter. Of the remaining
net proceeds, the share shall be distributed as

c. Copyrighted materials not within the provisions of
categories "a." and "b." above will be the property of
the University, except for theses; however, the
author(s) of theses must, as a condition of a degree
award, grant royalty-free permission to the
University to reproduce and publicly distribute
copies of the thesis.
E. Trademarks
All trademarks are the exclusive property of the University.
No steps shall be taken by University personnel for securing
trademarks by usage or registration with respect to any
University products resulting from the University's scholarly,
research, athletic or other activities, except with the approval
of the President or President's designee after consultation
with the University Director of Intellectual Property and
Licensing. Applications for trademarks will be made on behalf
of the University by the President or President's designee.

The 有料盒子视频 Faculty Senate passed the following at its Meeting #32 on
February 10, 1992:
RESOLUTION PASSED (unanimous approval)
==================
BE IT RESOLVED, That the 有料盒子视频 Faculty Senate endorses the Graduate
Council resolution on overhead.
Graduate student funding is one of the main impediments to
increasing the level and quality of graduate education at 有料盒子视频.
An overhead rate is charged on externally funded grants, of which
12.8% goes to Statewide Administration (UA) and includes moneys
which were formerly allocated to the UA Vice President for
Research. As most of the research occurs at 有料盒子视频, the position was
transferred to the 有料盒子视频 Vice Chancellor for Research. However, the
UA 12.8% share of overhead was not returned to 有料盒子视频.
It is recommended that an appropriate percentage of the UA
statewide system share of overhead be returned to the
unit/department and/or the principal investigator for graduate
student recruitment and retention.

The 有料盒子视频 Faculty Senate passed the following at its Meeting #32 on
February 10, 1992:
MOTION PASSED (unanimous approval)
==============
The 有料盒子视频 Faculty Senate moves to change the approval route for
course designations for Social Sciences, the "s" designator, to the
following:
Social Sciences shall be approved individually by the
Curriculum Councils of the College of Rural 有料盒子视频, the College
of Liberal Arts, and the School of Management, such that each
college approves courses taught within its own college.
EFFECTIVE: Fall 1992
RATIONALE: The present system of requiring approval
by all three colleges is burdensome, time-consuming
and redundant. Individual colleges best understand the
significance of courses within their own disciplines,
allowing the rest of the university to rely on the
expertise of those colleges most closely concerned to
follow the established criteria.
