division.
Section 2. The affairs of a department shall be administered by the head
of the department. He shall have general responsibility for all of the activities
of the department. He shall be responsible as follows: for the assignment of
duties to the members of the department; for filling vacancies and recommending

as to carry on the work of instruction, research, or extension.

search and extension services in its own field to other divisions of the University
than its own college, in accordance with the demand for such services and the
practicability of giving them.
Section 5. The dean of any college shall have the right to assign properly
qualified students to courses offered by departments outside of his college, unless
objection shall be made to him by the head of a department, in which case he
may refer the matter to the University Senate for adjustment. When any col-
lege shall desire new courses (or other services) to be given by a department
outside of that college, the dean of that college shall send a written request to
the head of the department concerned through the dean of the college to which
that department belongs. If the request is not granted, the matter may be
referred to the University Senate for adjustment.
Section 6. The formation of a new department of instruction or the transfer
of a department from one college to another shall require the approval of the
University Senate, the President and the Board of Control, upon recommendation
of the dean of the college concerned, or, in case of transfer, of the deans of
both colleges.

POLICIES AND REGULATIONS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA
CONCERNING PATENTS AND COPYRIGHTS
Among the duties that shall be assigned to the Research Council is the
administration of the policies and the regulations of the University concerning
patent and copyrights resulting from research, which are as follows:
Article I
PATENTS
Section 1. Investigations financed wholly by the University, that is spon-
sored by the University and carried out by public funds and by persons paid by
the University. All workers on such projects shall be under contract with the
Board of Control whereby, at the option of the Research Council, they may be
*If an automobile has been regularly approved as the mode of transportation, compensation
at the rate of seven and one-half cents per mile may be received by the operator of the automobile.
UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA
required to patent their respective inventions and/or discoveries and assign the
same to the Board of Commissioners of State Institutions of the State of
Florida, in which event the University shall pay the cost of obtaining such
patents.
If there should be a disposal of a patent, or discovery or invention, or a part
of its value, on such terms as to yield a return in excess of the cost of such
patent, the Research. Council shall recommend to the President for submission
to the Board of Control the payment of a just compensation to the discoverer
or inventor from the net proceeds, which in no case shall be less than 25 per
cent. If the material involved in the patent comes from research done on
dissertations or connection with dissertation problems, the amount allotted to
the discoverers shall be divided as follows: 66 2/3 per cent to the faculty member
who has directed the research and 331/3 percent to the graduate student who
helped with the work. If the University fails to agree, within 120 days after
the discovery or invention is announced to the Research Council, to pay the cost
of obtaining a patent, all rights and titles to the patent shall remain in the name
of the inventor. In case the Board of Control fails to agree within 120 days
after the discovery or invention is announced to the Research Council, to pay
the cost of obtaining a patent on the invention, then all rights to the invention
shall be the property of the inventor, and the Board of Control shall not assess
any costs incurred by it against the inventor. All University profits derived
from patents shall go to a "Research Fund" which shall be used for further
promotion of research.
Section 2. Investigations financed partly by the University in material re-
quirements or personnel service, the remainder being contributed by an or-
ganization of industrial or other character, or by an individual not connected
with the University. Projects of this type shall be undertaken only in accordance
with the execution of a written agreement made prior to the actual initiation of
such project. Each contract shall stipulate patent and publication rights.
Section 3. Investigations financed wholly by an organization of industrial
or other character, or by an individual not employed by the University. In this
case the research shall be prosecuted under a contract stating the rights and
ownership of patents which may result from such research.
Section 4. Investigations performed by an employee of the University at
his own expense and on his own time. This type of investigation logically divides
into two parts, type A and type B.
Type A.-When a discovery or invention is made outside of the field in
which the discoverer or inventor is employed by the University the results of
such research are obviously the private property of the investigator.
Type B.-When the discovery or invention is made in the field in which
the investigator is employed by the University the investigator shall present to
the Research Council an outline of the project and the conditions under which it
was done. The Council shall then recommend a suitable policy for handling the
material with respect to patent rights.
THE CONSTITUTION
Article II
COPYRIGHTS
This subject is divided into two parts, type A and type B:
Type A.-The Teaching Faculty: It has long been the privilege of the teach-
ing faculty of the University to write articles, pamphlets, and books or to
present papers before learned Societies, to enter into contract for the publication
of their works, to procure copyrights for their products, and to receive royalties
resulting from their sales where the ideas came from the individual, where the
products were the result of independent labors, and where the University was
not responsible for the opinion expressed. The precedent is so clearly established
that it would be a violation of academic rights to propose a variation of this
policy. Articles, pamphlets, and books written by one doing part-time teaching
and part-time research, which have no connection with his research, are included
herein. Authorship, however, should not interfere with teaching or other duties,
and should be of an elevating and helpful nature.
Type B.-The Non-Teaching Faculty, including research workers, employees
on special status, etc.: It shall be the policy of the University for an employee
not falling under type A and who is engaged in regular line of duty in projects
assigned him by the University, to present as to writings in connection therewith

PART IV
COMMITTEES AND BOARDS
The following general principles are enunciated relative to appointments of
committees and boards. They will apply to all committees and boards, except to
those specifically provided for differently by the Constitution of the University or
by action of the University Senate.
1. In order to insure continuity of thought and action, members shall be
appointed by the President for a term of four years, except that the first time a
committee is appointed under this policy, there will be as nearly as possible an
equal distribution of the members with terms of one, two, three, and four years.
2. Unless otherwise stated, the President shall annually designate the Chair-
man from the personnel of the committee.
3. In May of each year, the committee shall advise the President of the names
of those members whose terms expire and shall make at least two nominations for
each vacancy, together with such pertinent information regarding the committee's
organization and policies as will enable the President to fill the vacancies in the
most equitable manner. Whenever a vacancy occurs other than by expiration

to the President.
4. When in the study of matters before a committee, it is felt advisable to
bring in special assistance from personnel outside the committee, a sub-

subcommittee shall be temporary in tenure. Such a committee shall be re-
sponsible to, and make its report to the constitutional or Senate committee
nominating it and shall not be listed as a standing University committee.

submitted to the University Senate shall be presented to the University Senate
in its original form in the next published Senate agenda, together with a state-
ment giving (1) the name of the committee to which it was referred, (2) the
date on which it was referred to the committee.
6. Adequate committees are set up herein to handle most of the problems
that will confront the University, and it shall be the Administration's policy to
avoid the appointment of special or emergency committees. Matters may come
up from time to time, which do not necessarily fall within the jurisdiction of
these committees. Under such circumstances, special or emergency committees
may be appointed.
