U-M updates campus-wide copyright policy | MLibrary

The revised policy "transfers any copyright it holds in scholarly works to the faculty who authored those works" with some exceptions. Under the new policy, the university can "preserve, archive, and host Scholarly Works in its institutional repositories, such as Deep Blue, where faculty can control the timing and scope of access to their copyrighted works." ..."
