CAMPUS NOTICE
ACADEMIC SENATE
May 19, 2014
| SUBJECT: | A Brave New World - Intellectual Property, Copyright and Fair Use in the Internet Age |
With the advent of digital technologies and the internet, the legal landscape for academic activities from teaching and research to publication has been rapidly evolving. The wave of affiliation agreements between universities (including UCSD) and MOOC providers have made it more urgent than ever that faculty, administrators, graduate students and staff become as informed as possible about issues regarding copyright, fair use and intellectual property posed by universities' current policies and practices.
You are invited to the following workshop on intellectual property, copyright and fair use issues in the age of the internet to be held on Thursday, May 29th in the Faculty Club.
The Academic Senate and Administration have organized this educational workshop to bring the campus up to speed on these issues with the assistance of Kenneth Crews, a leading outside expert, and the participation of senior legal counsel from UCLA and UCOP. This will be an extraordinary chance to ask questions of guests and University attorneys about classroom teaching and fair use, IP protections and online/hybrid courses, copyright, publication and MOOC agreements, and University policy.
