MUNFA advocating MUN not sign AUCC/AC model license agreement

Memorial University of Newfoundland’s Faculty Association sent a memo today to David Wardlaw, Provost and Vice-President (Academic) concerning the recent model license agreement proposed by the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC). MUNFA is advocating that MUN not sign the model license agreement “because it has grave consequences for faculty and for students (not least of that which is considered ‘copying’) including transmission of a URL to a published work and the provisions for surveillance to ensure compliance.”
