According to Fairfield University's Mission statement, our "primary objectives  are to develop the creative, intellectual potential of our students, and to foster in them ethical and religious values and a sense of social responsibility."
It follows, then, that our students, faculty, and staff must respect the intellectual and creative property of all persons and abide by the U.S. copyright laws. These laws have changed over the years and continue to evolve. This site was developed to assist all members of the Fairfield University community in discerning how or if they can use copyrighted materials legally.
