1985 Policy for Off-Air Recording of Broadcast Programming for Educational Purposes


Forty-Five Day Curriculum Evaluation

Any off-air recorded program may be retained by the University for forty-five consecutive calendar days after the recording date. Between the end of the first ten consecutive school days after a program is recorded off-air and the end of the forty-five calendar day retention period, an off-air recording should only be played for faculty members, librarians, or archivists, to determine whether to retain the broadcast program within the curriculum of a University class, seminar, or program and/or retain the broadcast program in a University library or archives.

Within the forty-five day retention period, if a University faculty member, librarian, or archivist opts to include an off-air recorded program in any of the University's curricula, libraries, or archives, then that faculty or staff member shall, in writing, so inform the appropriate University officer authorized to implement this Off-Air Recording Policy. The policy implementing officer shall advise the requesting faculty and/or staff member(s) regarding the costs and procedures relative to either (1) purchasing a copy of the requested program or (2) obtaining an annual off-air recording license or a life-of-recording license.
