Summary:

"The University of Michigan this week announced changes to the standard practice guide to make it clear that the copyright to scholarly, academic, and artistic works are owned by the faculty who create these works. U.S. copyright law grants the university the copyright to works authored by employees of the university by default. The revised policy "transfers any copyright it holds in scholarly works to the faculty who authored those works" with some exceptions. Under the new policy, the university can "preserve, archive, and host Scholarly Works in its institutional repositories, such as Deep Blue, where faculty can control the timing and scope of access to their copyrighted works." ..."
