Faculty members at the UW System argue that the proposed copyright policy undermines the ownership of their course materials, which could harm their relationship with students and impact the quality of education.
The proposal to give the university system copyright over instructional materials, while ostensibly allowing transfer to the authors, creates significant concerns regarding faculty autonomy and the essence of the teaching relationship.
Faculty leaders express that the change could lead to AI's encroachment on their roles, as it dilutes the personal connection and expertise that professors bring to their classes.
The open letter from faculty highlights the distress surrounding the policy's implications, stating it constitutes a drastic and problematic redefinition of employment terms within the UW System.
