Proposed changes clarify faculty ownership of online courses they have developed under various circumstances.  Especially, the policy includes temporary clarifications established by the Provost last summer, as well as a 2-year "right of first refusal" for faculty who develop courses commissioned by the Office of Online and Distance Education, including payment of a per-unit stipend.  The 2-year right of first refusal clause was worked-out as a compromise between the EPC and Kent Johnson, Dean of the Office of Online and Distance Education.
