Recommendation from the Executive Committee of the Faculty Senate (Sheldon Pollack, Chair) [with the concurrence of the Faculty Committee on Student Life (Mark Parcells, Chair)] to approve a resolution of the University of Delaware Faculty Senate regarding certain amendments to the Student Code of Conduct.

WHEREAS, certain faculty members of the University of Delaware have become aware that students in their class have entered into agreements with certain commercial websites; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to such agreements, said students post their notes and other material from such classes on such commercial websites in exchange for a fee; and

WHEREAS, such faculty members wish to end such practice in their classes; and

WHEREAS, the Faculty Senate wishes to provide such faculty members with a practical and effective method for prohibiting such practice;

RESOLVED, that the Student Code of Conduct shall be amended to provide that in cases where a faculty member states on the course syllabus that no student may post notes or other material from the class on the Internet, whether or not for a fee, and any UD student, whether enrolled in the class or not, shall thereafter post such material on the Internet in contradiction of such prohibition, such act shall constitute a violation of the Student Code of Conduct, the penalty for which shall be determined by the Committee on Student Life as deemed appropriate.
