	CARLETON SIGNS AGREEMENT WITH CANCOPY ON COPYRIGHT



For several years, the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada

(AUCC) has been negotiating with CANCOPY, the Canadian Reprography

Collective to come up with a model licence to allow publishers to recoup

some royalties on all the photocopying that is done in universities.  A

model licence was finally agreed upon in March and Carleton has signed a

local version of this agreement that came into effect on August 1st.  The

agreement will run for two years. 



There are two parts to the agreement.  The first part consists of a

blanket licence to copy materials for use in teaching, administration, and

research throughout the university community, in return for an annual fee

of $2.50 per FTE student.  No more than 10% of a work, or single chapter,

article, poem, short story, etc. (whichever is greater) may be copied

under this part of the licence. 



The second part of the agreement concerns materials that are copied for

resale to students.  Copying of this nature involves the payment of a 3.5

cent/page royalty to CANCOPY.  Full details of what is copied must be

reported to David Lawrence of Carleton University Press and arrangements

must be made with CUP for payment of the fee.  Limits under this part of

the agreement are 15% of a work, or single chapter, article, poem, short

story, etc., whichever is greater.  CUP offers a coursebook publication

service, through which collections of photocopies, professor's notes,

etc., can be compiled into a soft-cover manual and sold through the

Bookstore.  Copyright clearance and the collection of the GST are looked

after.  Faculty members are strongly advised to use this service.



Multiple copies made under either part of this agreement that are made for

distribution to students must include a acknowledgement that they have

been made under this agreement and that they are not to be recopied.



Another type of copying covered by the agreement is the making of 35mm (or

other photographic) slides from published material.  There is a royalty

fee of 50 cents/slide and a requirement to report the details to CANCOPY. 

Staff should contact CUP for details.



The CANCOPY agreement covers a wide range of publications from several

countries, but some materials are excluded.  Certain publishers have

refused to join CANCOPY and certain authors also wish to be excluded. 

Materials published only outside Canada, US, UK, France, Germany,

Switzerland, Norway, Spain, Australia, Liechtenstein and Iceland are

excluded.  Also excluded are government publications (Crown Copyright) and

publications designed to be consumed, such as workbooks and instructional

guides.  For further information, contact David Holmes (University

Librarian), or David Lawrence at CUP.

        OCUA FUNDING REVIEW



In early September, academic staff at all Ontario universities will be

sent a newsprint copy of OCUA's Discussion Paper:  Sustaining Quality in

Changing Times, Funding Ontario Universities.  Individuals may make a

presentation at the hearing in Ottawa scheduled for Wednesday and

Thursday, October 26 and 27, 1994 by notice three weeks in advance and are

requested to submit thirty copies of their formal submission to the

Council at least two weeks prior to the hearing.  The following

information is taken from information provided by OCUA to CUASA.



Two of the three proposed models in the Discussion Paper are modifications

to the existing funding system the third proposes a new system that would

see universities enter into contracts with government for specific

services and levels of performance in exchange for public funding.



As part of the review, OCUA will also be examining a number of related

issues, including accessibility, a stronger emphasis on undergraduate

teaching, and the transfer of credits amongst universities and between

universities and colleges.



"To stimulate public discussion, we have described a number of pressures

for system-wide change as well as some new funding models that might be

considered in Ontario," says Joy Cohnstaedt (Chair, OCUA).  "These models

are not meant to be prescriptive, but rather examples of some of the

alternatives that are possible."



	Approaches to Change



OCUA has discussed a number of possible approaches that universities could

consider in responding to these pressures.  



These include:

* Using technological innovation, flexible scheduling, transition year and

bridging funds, and joint university-college programs to enhance

accessibility for under-represented groups and mature students.

* Streamlining current curricula, rationalizing courses and re-introducing

core curricula for first-year students to re-direct resources to maintain

and improve the quality of the educational experience.

* Reviewing the balance between teaching, research and community service

with an intent to increasing the amount of time spent on teaching.  In an

independent survey conducted in 1986 which studies a teaching term,

Ontario faculty reported working an average of 48 hours per week. 

Approximately 49 per cent of the time was spent on teaching, 26 per cent

on research, 14 per cent on support and administration, and 11 percent on

external community service during a teaching term.  On an annualized

basis, these proportions will change.

* Restructuring the current system by enlarging departments to reduce

administrative costs; rationalizing programs by cutting or merging and

reducing program duplication; and tightening new program funding approval

criteria to eliminate program proliferation.

* Rationalizing professional programs through discipline reviews based on a

study of societal needs, government-mandated financial cuts with

institutional identification of program rationalization measures, and the

provision of incentive funding.
