the issue said president likins at the last faculty committee meeting after the faculty rejected a statement of policy on con fidentiality in doctoral dissertations and master's theses the policy which has already been approved by the graduate committee and the research council sets guidelines to insure that completed graduate research may be released for publication without undue delay a majority of the faculty seem to feel it would do just the opposite the situation sometimes arises where a graduate student will use confidential in formation belonging to a company without realizing that he is thereby subjecting himself to their clauses regarding confidentiality publication and property rights or a student while under obligation to a company ibm may be paying his tuition for example may develop something that is patentable publication of the information before a patent can be obtained would negate the company's market edge in research normally in these cases the university reaches a compromise with the external agency in question according to richard streeter director of the office of research the university gives a company a certain amount of time to review research relevant to their operations to see if any question of property rights or a patent is involved if they don't respond in time said streeter the university publishes if they do we look into what they're concerned about it is here that a formal statement of university policy would come into play to negotiate a confidentiality arrangement streeter stressed that the university wants their right to publish guaranteed by calling for all dissertations and theses to be fully accessible to the graduate committee and the faculty involved in the approval process lehigh hopes to be able to warn students about circumstances for withholding under the proposal confidentiality arrangements require the approvals of the student the major professor and the dean of the graduate school if the arrangement is with an external agency it requires the approval of the director of the office of research one reason for this point is to prevent professors from making private deals with companies without the university's approval a professor doing research for a company may enlist a student to work on the project only to tell the student mw photo by patrice seth asumah a government graduate

the center was made possible by a unique federal-state-industy-university partnership he continued we were materially assisted in our efforts to establish this center by our congressman don ritter our governor dick thornburgh and our state secretary of commerce jimpickard likins said ritter representing the 15th district was an early and persistent advocate of the lehigh center he assisted lehigh
