It is University Policy that all classroom or course related content may only appear in the private site.

Compliance with University Policies
All podcasts must comply with the following Suffolk University policies:
• Copyright,
• Web, and
• Responsible Use of Computing and Information Resources.
All public content will only be uploaded upon receipt by the iTunes U Representative of a valid Suffolk University Copyright Release form. A copy of each valid form must be delivered to the iTunes U Administrator.
Posting and Removal of Content
Suffolk University reserves the right to decline or remove a podcast. Some of the reasons include:
• if the material is of poor audio or video quality;
• does not further the mission, purpose or reputation of Suffolk University;
• violates University policies and procedures; or
• may be in violation of the law.
Archiving and Preserving Content
Although Suffolk University will facilitate posting of content on the iTunes U site, it will not be responsible for ensuring that content is preserved or archived. Material posted on the iTunes U site resides on servers that are not owned or operated by Suffolk University. Therefore content providers must ensure their content is separately preserved.
