At the Friday faculty meeting, I thought we had a good discussion and questions regarding copyrights and online courses. Here is a follow up e-mail. In short, faculty do not completely own their courses and course material. I checked the policy and according
to the <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">KU Intellectual Property Policy (</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><a href="https://policy.ku.edu/chancellor/intellectual-property#IPScholarly" class="ms-outlook-linkify" target="_blank">https://policy.ku.edu/chancellor/intellectual-property#IPScholarly</a>)
faculty courses and lectures are subject to "Work Made for Hire" (see full definition below). This means the university has the rights to use all courses (in-person and online). I confirmed with the College.

Therefore, if a faculty member develops a course (online or in-person), the “ownership” is shared. If the faculty member leaves KU, then KU retains the right to use the course with a different instructor and has the right to update/tweak/modify the content.
Likewise, the faculty member can take the course with them when they leave. A faculty member can develop a syllabus for a course, however, if they leave KU, the course continues to exist. The faculty member can take their syllabus with them to use at another
institution. We agree to the "Works Made for Hire" when we sign or agree to the salary letter from the Chancellor.
