Recommendations, University Committee on Copyrightable Works

(12) T h e University Committee on Copyrightable Works submits the following recommendations. 1. Methods and Materials for Teaching Occupational Survival Skills — Robert E. Nelson, assistant professor of vocational and technical education, Urbana, author; supported by the Illinois Office of Education. The contract with the sponsor provides for the release of all copyrights to the University, and the net royalty income from the sale of the book is estimated by the department to be less than $5,000 in any one year. The committee recommends that the author be awarded 50 percent of the net royalty income received by the University from sales of the book. 2. Series on Bilingual Education, Volumes 2 through 6 — Henry T. Trueba, professor of secondary education, Urbana, and Carol B. Barnett-Mizrahi, visiting assistant specialist in education, Urbana, authors; supported by the U.S. Office of Education. The royalty income distribution on the first volume of this series was approved by the Board of Trustees on June 21, 1978. The committee recommends that 50 percent of net royalties received by the University, not payable to others, be awarded to the authors of volumes two through six of the book series on bilingual education. I concur in these recommendations. O n m o t i o n of M r . V e l a s q u e z , t h e s e r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s w e r e a p p r o v e d .
