Regarding the basic question of “If the role of faculty is to produce knowledge, do faculty have a right to the protection of their intellectual property?”, I find it naive. The real question is who owns the copyright, the university or the faculty? Since faculty work for hire, one could argue that the university should own the copy right. There are arguments why faculty should own the copyright.
When it comes to other forms of IP, such as patents and software copyright, most US universities have asserted ownership of those.
IMHO, this is what the argument should focus on. The “role-based argument” make no sense to me.
