Copyrighted material prepared by The University of Memphis
faculty and staff may be required for student purchase only
by the unanimous decision of a committee of the department in
which it is to be used.  Such required purchase of instruction-
al material must also be approved by the department chairman, 
or in cases where no department chairman exists, the appropriate 
administrative officer; and, in the case of materials designed 
solely for a University of Memphis audience, the responsible dean.

The appropriate dean will, in each case where faculty-authored 
material is required to be purchased by students, approve the 
selection process to assure its objectivity.

In addition, anyone preparing material to be copyrighted and
designed solely for a University of Memphis audience must obtain
advance approval to avoid possible loss and must comply with
Policy No. 1:2B:01:11 and Procedure No. 2B:01:11A, Patents
and Copyrights.

Faculty authored material which is required to be purchased
by students may not be sold directly to students by a faculty
member, department, or college, but must be available for
purchase at established outlets, including the University
store.
