Intellectual Property (4-5)

I. PurPose:To establish the process for the recognition, notification, protection, ownership, use, and commercialization of intellectual property, and any royalties or other income derived there from.

II. DefInItIons:Intellectual property: includes but is not limited to any material defined within one or more of the following categories:

• apotentiallypatentablemachine,productioncompositionofmatter,process, or improvement in any of these

• anissuedpatent• alegalrightwhichispartofapatent• anythingthatiscopyrightable

III. PolIcy:The college will operate under the system-wide rules for intellectual property as provided for in Section 12 of the Virginia Community College System (VCCS) Policy Manual.

The vice president of finance and administration is the intellectual property administrator who will carry out the provisions of the Intellectual Property Guidelines as promulgated in Section 12.0.0 of the VCCS Policy Manual.

At the request of the intellectual property administrator, the college president will appoint a college committee to advise the administrator in implementing the policy as stated in Section 12 of the VCCS Policy Manual. Insofar as possible, the committee membership will reflect expertise in the intellectual property identified.

Under state law, unless a waiver or other written agreement exists between a creator and JSRCC, the college is required to claim an interest in any intellectual property produced as an assigned duty, having significant market value, and produced through the substantial use of state resources, facilities, or funds, which is defined as $10,000 in value.

The college usually does not claim an interest in dissertations or theses, classroom materials produced as part of the usual or routine teaching duties, any intellectual property produced without any actual out-of-pocket cost to the institution, or materials produced by students as part of course requirements making only incidental use of college resources.

The college does not claim an interest in literary works (poems, plays, novels, essays, musical scores, etc.), unless the creator made substantial use ($10,000 or greater value) of college resources or was hired, assigned, or directed to write the work.

IV. ProceDures:Early identification of the potential creation of intellectual property is encouraged. Creators of intellectual property will make themselves known to the intellectual property administrator by providing a brief written description of the property.

3. Non-students that display disruptive behavior are subjected to be removed from campus. A trespass notice may be issued prohibiting the individual from returning to college property. Violators of the trespass notice are subject to criminal prosecution.

Parking Enforcement (4-39)

I. PurPose:To provide policy and procedures regarding parking enforcement that are applicable to all individuals who operate motor vehicles on any campus or center of J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College (JSRCC), to include college roads and grounds, that are in the best interest of public safety and security and in compliance with the rules and regulations mandated by the Commonwealth of Virginia, the Virginia Community College System (VCCS), and the President’s Executive Cabinet of J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College.

II. DefInItIons: Campus: includes JSRCC campuses and centers.

Compact vehicles: for the purpose and enforcement of this policy, a car having dimensions within the vehicles specifications no wider than 71” and no longer than 185”.

Motor vehicle: any self-propelled vehicle, which may or may not require a state license.

III. PolIcy:The operation of motor vehicles on the campuses of J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College is a privilege granted by the college. This privilege is extended to faculty, staff, students, and authorized visitors to JSRCC. Failure to adhere to these regulations as well as the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia may result in a citation and may result in the loss of parking privileges on the campuses of J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College.

The parking enforcement policy of J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College as set forth in this document, supplements but does not supersede, the regulations established by the Division of Motor Vehicles of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

This policy and procedures compliments, and may therefore refer to, other published college documents. Additional parking information is available to JSRCC students in the Student Handbook, issued by the Office of Student Affairs.

A. General informationJSRCC makes every effort to provide safe and convenient parking for all who attend the college. Since JSRCC does not receive state funding to support the parking program, auxiliary fees and local monies are necessary to build and maintain parking lots and parking decks, paint lots, install signage, provide lighting and safety equipment, and install
