Subject: [IPCmte-L] Hilgert Puzzle Book
Message-ID: <005201c80b4f$5ef67070$1ce35150$@edu>

All,

 

Larry Hilgert (who has finally emerged from an accreditation preparation
assignment) has provided additional documentation to support his claim that
the Puzzle Book was an individual effort.  I am attaching a .pdf that
provides a statement from his department head indicating that the effort was
not assigned, supported, or directed by the university.  Also included are
receipts for purchase of supplies and materials for the project that are
personal cash and credit card transactions.  

 

I believe we need to take some formal action, which we agreed to do via this
listserv.  If you are ready to take a vote and wish to designate Larry et
al's Puzzle Book IP as "Individual Effort" in which he and colleagues have
100% ownership rights, we will need a motion, a second, and then a vote.
May I consider the first return email I get as the motion, the second as the
second, and any other affirmative responses as aye votes?  Of course, if any
of you still have concerns, do share them with the rest of us and we will
consider that discussion.     

 

Once we close out this matter, I will provide meeting minutes.

 

Thanks.

Barbara

Discussion, not a vote.
I suspect that each of us is waiting for a first vote to get a sense of direction.

Anyway:
1. It is clear from Bob Bauer's email that the work was not a directed assignment.
2. The most useful information seems to be Barbara's summary of Larry's verbal comments.
3. But, there does not seem to be any substantiation of Barbara's question about the work being done during "off" hours and with personal computers.
4. Andy's statement about using University computers and negative comments about bureaucratic roadblocks did not help me understand.  I did not see how "waste" would occur by being careful of separating individual effort from university supported.

My assessment:
The work was not an assignment and personal, not university, supplies were used.
But, university computers were used, implying that the work was performed during normal working hours.  There is no statement about "weekends, evenings and summer months" as Barbara suggested.

Based on what I read, it looks like "university assisted" effort because they used "paid time within the employment period" and used VSU computers.  

Alternatively, since the phrase "other than office" is used in the policy, one could define that to include a work computer, assuming that no resources were used except electricity (vs. telecommunication services that implies charges).  I think that mitigates the PC, but not the time.

Am I assessing too rigidly?

George

This is also discussion not a vote.

Thank you George for you comments. I agree with your opinion.

I do not appreciate being referred to as a ?roadblock? when I am asked 
to protect University interest. Please see Andrew Ostapski?s letter. I 
am sure that once we refine the disclosure forms to include evidence 
which will support a claimed effort, the process will become much more 
streamlined. 

With the letter from Bob Bauer it is clear that this is not an assigned 
task. I feel that we should encourage research regardless of the 
location that it was completed.  A portion of faculty load is to do 
research. I would hate to see faculty running from campus once they 
have completed teaching their classes because they were afraid that 
individual efforts could be clamed by the University. We would have 
more parking but not a healthy productive environment.

I see this as an individual effort. However, I am the chair of this 
committee. I think that a motion should come from one of the members.

Thank you,

Hollis

The term "directed assignment" means????   When I develop new educational material for students I was never specifically directed to do this but it is definitely part of my job. I do lots of it at home at night/weekends simply because it is easier but all of the ideas are derived from my experience at VSU.  The same for research - no one ever directed me to do work in this area or that area BUT if I worked elsewhere I never would be working on the same projects - the location/situation originates and shapes the ideas.
     Having receipts from stores for folders, etc is great - but where was the idea derived?  If this is a university precedent - I'm not clear how a faculty member can write a book for a class he/she is teaching but say the university community was not part of molding the idea? 
     Also, do the authors list their home or VSU address in the book?

Hi All,  I know this sounds like an excuse, but . . . my mom has been 
very sick this week and last week and I am just catching up with 
emails.  I am off campus right now--I do want to catch up with this 
discussion. Sorry to be so tardy with my reply. Diane

After reading this more closely, I can not conclude that this is an 
individual effort. I see this as a "university assisted" effort.  I 
concur with Tom Manning and George G's statements, and Hollis' 
statement except for the part about this being an individual effort.
Thanks, Diane H.

Great discussion and my original thoughts when this was presented is  
what Tom has said. I do this all the time especially w/online  
development but it enhances what I am teaching--I'm sure we all do it;  
it's called  being a GOOD teacher. But since this is an after the  
fact, do we give him the benefit of the doubt and just explain this to  
him so next time he will know the proper channels to go through since  
royalties are so small? As    we revise, we can use this experience to  
help us and consider this one falling in that grey area that our  
policy needs to clarify.
