The official policy here is that the books are property of the university, not the faculty member, so they are not supposed to be sold to book buyers.
I have seen this practice abused - a previous secretary in our department was making an extra $100-$300 per month in our department selling books. This wasn't that difficult to do since we have 20+ people, so she would take a few from different faculty every month (as well as any sent to people who were no longer in our department). Deborah Briihl, PhD Dept. of Psychology and Counseling Valdosta State University 229-333-5994 [email protected] We are looking at our current policy toward faculty selling desk and review copies of books to buyers. Can you share with me (off-list if you don’t want to burn one of your three posts to the lists for the day) your school’s policy (if any) and what you think about it.
