Description
Explore the different forms that intellectual property (IP) has taken in higher education in recent years and how to navigate the changing landscape for faculty members and university administrators. Due to technological advancements and the rise of neo-liberal policies influenced by academic capitalism, faculty members are finding their rights being renegotiated, often without their input.
Through patents, copyrights, distance education programs and MOOCS, universities and publishers are seeking to gain a competitive advantage in a market largely dominated by profit generation. All this is putting the university's public mission in tension with increasingly profit-driven university management practices.
This volume:
Presents policy trends in university IP regulation over the past 40 years,
Examines the utility of IP rights in higher education,
Considers the implications of knowledge ownership in the academic profession. and
Details the IP barriers that faculty encounter when attempting to share their work.
This is the 177th volume of the Jossey-Bass quarterly report series New Directions for Higher Education. Addressed to presidents, vice presidents, deans, and other higher education decision makers on all kinds of campuses, it provides timely information and authoritative advice about major issues and administrative problems confronting every institution.
