Administrative Copying

The administrative copying of copyrighted-protected works includes 1) the development of a course of study, unit or program offered by the university, and 2) the governance of the university or of a faculty or department of the university.

Examples include the copying and emailing of a periodical article to the board of regents or to members of a faculty dealing with the operation of the university, and to the making of a copy for the purpose of training administrative staff.
