BACKGROUND

The University of Connecticut seeks endowment support for chairs and professorships in the several academic departments, independent scholarly centers, schools, and colleges to support distinguished teaching, research, and community service.

PURPOSE

To clarify the areas of responsibility for establishing, approving, reviewing, and filling Endowed Chairs and Professorships

POLICY STATEMENT

Endowed chairs and professorships are created by the Trustees upon recommendation by the President and in consideration of the President’s determination that sufficient endowment funds have been provided through an outright gift or a written pledge to provide a significant share of the chair holder’s salary, research or teaching program support, and supplementary support.

On recommendation by the Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs or Executive Vice President for Health Affairs, the President will present to the Board a proposal for establishment of an endowed chair or endowed professorship. The President’s recommendation to the Trustees will address the chair’s or the professor’s purpose in light of the University’s academic mission, source of funding, and such other matters as may be relevant to the creation of the chair or professorship.

Once an endowed chair or professorship has been created, the position will be filled in accordance with University policy, and the Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs or the Executive Vice President for Health Affairs will recommend a candidate for appointment to the Board of Trustees.

Appointments will be for a fixed term, with the possibility of renewal. The term associated with an endowed chair or endowed professorship will be determined at the discretion of the dean up to a maximum of 5 years. The holder of an endowed chair or endowed professorship is ordinarily considered for a renewal appointment at the end of their appointment.

In the event that an endowed chair becomes vacant, the dean, in consultation with the Provost may at appoint an individual to the position for no more than a 1-year temporary appointment. The Provost will consider exceptions to the ordinary procedures on a case-by-case basis.

Retired or emeritus faculty are ineligible for appointment or reappointment to an endowed chair or professorships. Faculty who retire while serving in an endowed position vacate the position upon retirement.

The President shall periodically forward to the Board of Trustees reports on the contributions made by holders of endowed chairs or professorships.

ENFORCEMENT

Violations of this policy may result in appropriate disciplinary measures in accordance with University By-Laws, General Rules of Conduct for All University Employees and applicable collective bargaining agreements.

Application: This process applies to Deans, and not their direct reports, although Deans may choose to use this process for their direct reports.

Timing: As is true for all senior administrators, Deans are routinely subject to formal review every five years. This review normally occurs at the beginning of the fifth year of a five-year appointment. Deans may be appointed for multiple subsequent five-year terms, with formal reviews occurring every five years.

Process Oversight: The Provost shall be responsible for the review of the Deans. The Provost may delegate the supervisory function for carrying out reviews to a direct report.

Review Procedure:

Review Committee. To carry out each formal review of a Dean, a Review Committee chaired by another Dean shall gather information and report it to the Provost. In addition to the Chair, each Review Committee shall be comprised of approximately six individuals: two chosen directly by the Provost, two elected by the college/school faculty in a fashion approved jointly by the Provost and the administrative governing body of the college/school, one chosen by the Provost from a list submitted by the University Senate Executive Committee, and one selected by the Provost from a list submitted by the Dean under review.
Review Process. The Chair of the Review Committee shall carry out the administrator review process. This process shall include the following components:

Receipt of a statement and report of accomplishment from the Dean

Dissemination of a confidential survey and solicitation of written comments from college/school faculty and staff, and relevant university and external constituencies, with compilation of the results

Conduct by Committee members of interviews with relevant individuals, including direct reports such as department heads, external constituencies, students, and such faculty and staff as the Review Committee deems appropriate

Other information agreed upon between the Review Committee and the Provost

Review Outcome

The Review Committee shall serve as a fact-finding and advisory committee to the Provost. At the conclusion of the review process, it shall meet with the Provost to report its findings.

The final decision on reappointment of a Dean resides with the Provost.

Copyright Compliance Guidelines

Applies to:	Faculty, Staff, Students
Campus Applicability:	Storrs and Regional Campuses

Instructors placing physical materials on Traditional Course Reserve (TCR), copies of physical materials on Electronic Course Reserve (ECR) or TCR, or posting materials directly to WebCT for the purpose of not-for-profit instructional support are responsible for being cognizant of and applying the copyright compliance guidelines observed by the University of Connecticut (UCL) Reserve Services. These guidelines apply whether Reserve Services or the individual instructor is posting materials in WebCT.

UCL copyright compliance guidelines for Reserve Services are based on:

The Libraries’ interpretation of Section 107 Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair Use of Title 17 (Copyrights) of U.S. Code;
Section 107 of U.S. Copyright Law sets out four factors to be considered in determining whether or not a particular use is fair:
1. The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
2. The nature of the copyrighted work;
3. Amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
4. The effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work
Agreement on Guidelines for Classroom Copying in Not-For-Profit Educational Institutions with Respect to Books and Periodicals, a.k.a., Classroom Guidelines;
American Library Association Model Policy Concerning College and University Photocopying for Classroom, Research and Library Reserve Use;
Music Library Association Statement on the Digital Transmission of Electronic Reserves ;
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act

Guidelines for Reserve Services/WebCT Environments

What can I put on Reserve?

Entire physical works in their original format, e.g., books, journals, AV materials, may be put on TCR in the Library provided the University Libraries or the instructor owns a legal copy of the work. Most government publications are in the public domain and may also be put on Reserve, whether or not owned by the University Libraries or the instructor.

Copies of portions of the above types of works may be placed on ECR, TCR, or posted by instructors to WebCT provided the University Libraries or the instructor owns a legal copy of the work and access is restricted to the instructor and students enrolled in the course for which the material is being used in a given semester.

Reserve Services has developed the following guidelines for the amount of a copied work to be placed on ECR/TCR or posted by instructors to WebCT:

One article per journal issue;
One chapter or 10% of a book;
Other parts or whole works that do not constitute copyright infringement, e.g., government documents and class notes.

In all cases, the notice of copyright and the title page from the work must be posted.

The above amounts are estimates designed to safeguard the University and its individual members from legal action due to copyright infringement. Exceptions to the above limits must take into consideration the four fair use factors.

What if the University Libraries or the instructor does not own a legal copy of a work?

The Libraries will purchase books that are required for Reserve.

The Libraries will obtain journal articles not owned by the University Libraries or the instructor and request permission for use. If permission is granted and there are royalty fees, the Libraries will pay the royalty fees. If permission is not granted, the material will be removed from Reserve and the instructor will be notified. Permission must be requested for each semester the material is being used.

Written permission of the student author is required to place student papers on Reserve.

What is not permitted for Reserve?

Materials considered to be “consumable,” e.g., published workbooks, exercises, standardized tests, test booklets, answer sheets, and course packs are not put on Reserve. The nature of this material is such that making copies available to many students is likely to affect the market value of the item and may be an infringement of copyright law.

Can materials in digital databases and full text journals leased by the Libraries be used in WebCT?

UCL does not own these materials, they are leased. UCL signs an official license agreement with each vendor, and each license contains language on the permitted use of the material. Some of the licenses allow for use of the material for Reserve, some do not.

Instructors needing to use in WebCT products leased by the Libraries should consult with Reserve Services to determine whether there are restrictions on use for Reserve associated with a particular leased product.

Below are known leases that do allow Reserve use:

InfoTrac
ABI Inform
JSTOR

NOTE: If a license prohibits use of digital material for Reserve and the Libraries own the paper version, Reserve Services will scan the paper version and post it through ECR.

Can materials not owned/leased by the Libraries or the instructor and available on the Internet be used in WebCT?

While this issue is beyond the domain of Reserve Services, please be advised that if you choose to use such materials (i.e., other instructors’ web pages, commercial sites, etc.) in WebCT, you are responsible for obtaining any necessary permissions and paying any associated royalties.

Assignment of Textbooks and Other Intellectual Property

Title:	Assignment of Textbooks and Other Intellectual Property
Policy Owner:	Office of the Provost
Applies to:	Faculty
Campus Applicability:	All Programs at All Campuses
Effective Date:	October 29, 2010
For More Information, Contact	Office of the Provost
Contact Information:	(860) 486-4037
Official Website:	http://provost.uconn.edu/

Background and reasons for the Policy:

The Code of Ethics for Public Officials precludes the use of one’s public position for personal financial gain. This policy is intended to support compliance with the Code.

Purpose of Policy:

To provide guidance on the circumstances under which one may assign a textbook or other intellectual property authored or developed by the professor to a course s/he may teach.

Expected Institutional Outcome:

Compliance with the Code of Ethics

Applicability of Policy:

All Faculty

Policy Statement:

No public official or state employee shall use his/her public office or position or confidential information received through his holding such public office or position to obtain financial gain for himself/herself, his/her spouse, child, child’s spouse, parent, brother or sister or a business with which he/she is associated. Connecticut General Statutes Section 1-84(c) of the Code of Ethics for Public Officials.

In a course taught by a faculty member, the assignment of a required textbook s/he authored or of intellectual property s/he prepared may be interpreted as “obtaining financial gain for himself/herself” unless the faculty member receives prior approval for such use or directs any financial gain to a University of Connecticut student scholarship fund within thirty (30) days of receipt. If the professor directs any financial gain to a University of Connecticut student scholarship fund, no review is needed.

Responsibilities:

All Faculty are responsible for compliance with this policy. Deans and Department Heads should work with their faculty to ensure that the implementation guidelines (see below) are enforced.

Policy Implementation Guidelines:

Approval for use of a textbook or other intellectual property authored by the faculty member in a course taught by that individual should be obtained through a departmental or school/college review of the intellectual property in question. The review will address the appropriateness of this specific piece of intellectual property consistent with the guidelines established in Advisory Opinion No. 2001-7. A small committee of faculty members, not subordinate to the professor, will complete the review, and a determination report will be filed with the Provost’s office.

Failure to comply constitutes a violation of the State ethics code and University policy and is subject to disciplinary procedures of both.

Administrative Review and Approval of Proposals for External Support

Title:	Administrative Review and Approval of Proposals for External Support
Policy Owner:	Office of the Vice President for Research, Sponsored Program Services
Applies to:	Principal Investigators and all others involved in the submission of a sponsored program proposal

For More Information, Contact	Sponsored Program Services
Contact Information:	(860) 486-3622
Official Website:	http://research.uconn.edu

PURPOSE

The timely submission of proposals for internal UConn review and approval allows for thoughtful consideration and review of sponsored project proposals for compliance with University, Federal, State and sponsor policies. Additionally, Sponsored Program Services professionals review proposals against the administrative requirements of the sponsor’s announcement, including budgets and budget justifications to identify potential administrative or financial challenges to the success of the proposal.

POLICY

All proposal submissions seeking external support for research and other sponsored projects must be submitted to the Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) Sponsored Program Services (SPS) for review and approval prior to submission to an external sponsor, even when institutional sign-off is not required by the sponsor.

All letters-of-intent and pre-proposal submissions seeking external support for research and other sponsored projects must be submitted to Sponsored Program Services for review and approval prior to submission to an external sponsor if the signature of an authorized official, a detailed budget, or cost share commitment is required.

Proposals submitted without SPS approval may be administratively withdrawn or the offer of funding (award) may not be accepted if the submission is found to be non-compliant with University, Federal, State or sponsor policies.

SPS requests a minimum of five (5) business days prior to the agency or submission deadline for review and approval of the full proposal, internal forms and budget.

The University of Connecticut reserves the right to withdraw any proposal or refuse acceptance of any award that does not comply with this policy.

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The Director of Sponsored Programs and Faculty Services has overall responsibility for this policy.

The Principal Investigator accepts the responsibility for the timely submission of all proposals and pre-proposals that require SPS approval to SPS.

The Department Head, Center Director and/or Dean attests to the academic purposes of the proposed project and its appropriateness in terms of budget, committed effort, space and equipment.

The Director of Sponsored Programs and Faculty Services is the authorized signatory for all proposals for sponsored programs. In the absence of the designated official, arrangements are made to ensure timely signing by alternate University signatories.

Principal Investigators, Department Heads, Deans and other individuals as required are responsible for authorizing and signing internal processing documents, but are not authorized to sign a sponsored projects proposal as the institutional official on behalf of the University.

Campus Applicability:	Storrs and Regional Campuses
Effective Date:	January 2, 2004
For More Information, Contact	Labor Relations
Contact Information:	(860) 486-5684
Official Website:	https://hr.uconn.edu/employee-relations/

Background and reasons for the policy: The safety and security of all employees is of primary importance to the University of Connecticut. On August 4, 1999, the Governor of the State of Connecticut issued an executive order establishing a zero tolerance policy for workplace violence for all state agencies and public universities.

Workplace Violence is defined by this executive order as:

“Any physical assault, threatening behavior, or verbal abuse occurring in the work setting. It includes, but is not limited to, beatings, stabbings, suicides, rapes, near suicides, psychological traumas, such as threats, obscene phone calls, an intimidating presence and harassment of any nature such as being followed, sworn, or shouted at.”

This policy governs all University employees, persons who are permitted to work on University premises, at satellite locations or at University sponsored off-site events. This policy also governs persons operating state vehicles under the control of the University. The entire Governor’s policy and related definitions are accessible via the following links:

The executive order: http://www.ct.gov/opm/lib/opm/olr/wpv/exc16.pdf

The Workplace Violence Prevention Manual:

http://www.ct.gov/opm/cwp/view.asp?a=2992&q=383254

Purpose of Policy: The University of Connecticut is committed to providing a workplace that is conducive to a safe and healthy environment supportive of our educational mission. This policy communicates the meaning of “workplace violence”, defines prohibited conduct and establishes potential consequences for violations. Additional resources are cited to provide direction on how to report incidents and offer sources of assistance and support to those impacted by workplace violence.

Expected Institutional Outcome: This policy will provide the University’s faculty, staff, students, contracted employees, visitors, vendors, volunteers and guests with an appropriately safe and healthy work environment, free from intimidation, harassment, threats and/or violent acts.

Applicability of Policy: This policy applies to all University of Connecticut employees and contractors.

Policy Statement: The University of Connecticut takes any act of violence seriously. The prevention of workplace violence is everyone’s responsibility. It is expected that University employees will maintain a workplace atmosphere of mutual respect and civility.

No person covered by this policy may engage in conduct intended to threaten, intimidate or harass a University employee. No person covered by this policy may possess a weapon or dangerous instrument while on any University worksite unless required to do so as a component of their job. No person covered by this policy may use, attempt to use, or threaten to use a weapon or dangerous instrument. No person covered by this policy may cause or threaten to cause death or physical injury to any individual while at a University worksite.

Individuals who make threats, commit acts of violence or engage in other conduct defined as workplace violence, will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action up to and including dismissal as well as criminal prosecution if indicated.

Reporting Suspected Violations: Any act or incident that fits the definition of workplace violence outlined in this policy which occurs on the campus or at off-site locations under the University’s auspices or creates a risk to anyone at these sites must be reported immediately. All employees are responsible for notifying the administration of any threats that they witness or receive. Even without a specific threat, all employees should report any behavior that may be regarded as potentially threatening or violent or that could endanger the health and safety of others.

For more detailed instructions and resources regarding the University’s Workplace Violence Policy please contact the Office of Faculty and Staff Labor Relations at 860-486-5684.
