Policy

D28E

The general policy of Elon University follows the long-standing academic tradition that intellectual property is owned by the author or creator of the work. Exceptions to this rule may result from contractual obligations, from employment obligations, from certain uses of University facilities, or by agreement governing access to certain University resources. Variances from this policy must be negotiated by the author or creator with the Dean of the respective college or school and the Provost/Executive Vice President (for faculty and students) or the supervisor and reporting Vice President and Provost/Executive Vice President (for staff).
