Purpose
The purpose is to establish a clear procedure to guide the use of copyright-protected works where the copyright owner is a student of the Michener Institute.
Background
Per the Michener Institute Copyright Policy:
The copyright of work prepared by students in fulfilment of their Michener program requirements shall be owned by the student. The students have the right to control all further uses of their work.
Michener faculty shall not use a student’s work for purposes other than that for which it was assigned unless prior written consent is received from the student.
Michener shall obtain a signed waiver from students to use their work for purposes other than which it was assigned.
Clarifying question:
Can I use examples of student work in future classes?
Answer:
The student retains copyright ownership in all their work unless that work was completed as part of their employment, in which case the employer typically owns the copyright. Therefore, you will require permission to use their work.
Procedure
Faculty can use the following as a template to receive permission for the use of student work:
