Reviewed by the Staff Organization and approved by the Faculty Council at one of its last meetings of the 2000-2001 academic year, this policy was developed in accordance with the UNC Board of Governors’ comprehensive new policy on copyrights. It establishes the Faculty Copyright Education and Policy Committee and a copyright dispute resolution mechanism. In addition the Policy provides guidance on copyright infringement and fair use. Finally, it establishes parameters for ownership of various types of copyrightable works by faculty, staff, and students. This policy is subject to modification as the result of further discussion with the Faculty during next year.Additionally, the Provost will call for a review of the policy after two years of operation under its terms.
Each department bears responsibility for forwarding copies of its own publications to the University Archives and the North Carolina State Publications Clearinghouse in the Department of Cultural Resources, rather than to the UNC Charlotte Publications Officer. The revisions also include clarification of the places for deposit of University publications, and a change of address for the North Carolina Publications Clearinghouse.
This University Policy has been changed to reflect recent revisions to the regulations governing the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Specifically, the new FERPA regulations now provide that the University shall give a parent or eligible student when requested, an opportunity for a hearing to challenge the content of the student's education records on the grounds that the information contained in the education records is inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of the privacy rights of the student. The regulations previously provided that a student could challenge his or her education records on the grounds that the information contained in the records was inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of the student's privacy or other rights.
The relevant revisions to University Policy 402 are in Section IV and Attachment.
This Policy combines the current PS #602.2 (Securing Private Support) and PS #602.3 (Gift Acceptance) because of their common subject matter.PS #602.2 intends to better organize the policies and procedures for solicitation and acceptance of gifts.In addition, it reflects and is consistent with the policies and procedures set forth in the “Standards for Gift Acceptance” manual. Because of the consolidation, PS #602.3 has been rescinded.
The intent of the revisions is to bring the policy into line with current practice.Most of the revisions reflect the change in practice from maintenance of EPA personnel files in the “office of the Vice Chancellor for the division” where employment was held or sought to the “department or unit” where employment was held or sought.Additionally, requests for inspection of EPA personnel records and confidential letters of recommendation should now be directed to the Director of Academic Budget and Personnel rather than to the office of the Vice Chancellor of the division in which employment was held. Additional revisions reflect other changes in practice or simple clarification of language.
This University Policy describes planning and implementation of control practices for the prevention of laboratory-acquired infections in all UNC Charlotte research programs involving biohazardous agents.The policy has been established to ensure safe handling of biohazardous agents and the appropriate assessment of potential risks.
The revisions conform minor changes made necessary by the recent addition of University Policy 102.10 - Employment of Postdoctoral Fellows.
This University Policy intends to make clear the terms of employment for Postdoctoral Fellows such as salary, benefits, and length of employment, as well as clarify their status as employees.Postdocs are required to sign the “Agreement for Temporary Postdoctoral Fellow Appointment” form (AA-35).
This University Policy intends to avoid unnecessary loss or injury resulting from use of university laboratories by individuals who do not have appropriate training, supervision, or authorization.Only those individuals authorized under this policy are permitted in specified university laboratories.
This University Policy has been revised in light of the new regulations governing the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). The definition of“Education Records” is revised to clarify that “sole possession” records are, among other things, those that are “used only as a personal memory aid.” The definition of “Directory Information” is revised to add “enrollment status.” The section on disclosure of education records without prior consent of the student is revised to add a section entitled “Litigation.”The section addressing disclosure of alcohol or drug violations to parents is revised to clarify that it applies only to students who are under the age of 21 at the time of disclosure to the parent. Changes unrelated to the new FERPA regulations include an update of the cost of an official copy of a transcript, from $1 to $3, and minor editorial changes.
