Policy Currently Under Review
Purpose
Establish guidelines around texts and media authored by Daemen Faculty in order to avoid the appearance of impropriety and the financial exploitation of students.
Scope
All faculty
Narrative
In order to avoid the appearance of impropriety or the financial exploitation of students, faculty members requiring self-authored peer-reviewed texts for courses should, as a courtesy, inform the relevant department’s full-time faculty or the appropriate members of the personnel committee in the event of a department with fewer than three faculty members. This policy does not apply to recommended or non peer-reviewed materials.
In-house, self-published materials in any media (books, CDs, DVDs, or materials reproduced by print shops) must be sold at cost.
