Glendale Community College District
3350 Board
Policy
Use of Copyrighted Materials
It is the intent of the Board of Trustees of Glendale
Community College District to adhere to the provisions of the U.S. copyright
law (United States Code, Title 17), including the Berne Convention for
the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, and to maintain the highest
ethical standards in the use of all copyrighted materials. The willful infringement of a copyright and
plagiarism of any sort by district employees are prohibited. The Board, therefore, directs the
Superintendent/President or designee to provide employees with guidelines that
ensure compliance with the U.S. copyright law and adherence to standards of
ethical conduct as they relate to the use of someone else’s creative work.
Copyrighted materials, whether they be print or nonprint, may
not be duplicated without first receiving written permission from the owner of
such materials (copyright holder) and/or complying with guidelines presented in
administrative regulations.
The Glendale Community College District does not sanction
the illegal use or unauthorized duplication of someone else’s work in any
form. Employees who willfully violate
the district’s copyright policy do so at their own risk and may be required to
remunerate the district in the event of a loss resulting from litigation.
