Can faculty members retain royalties on books they recommend or require students to purchase?
No. Faculty members receiving royalties or other income on books or other materials they recommend or require students to buy must either refund such income to the students or take other steps to avoid retaining such income. For example, the income could be donated to a charity, including the University, The University of Iowa Foundation, or The University of Iowa Law School Foundation. See Operations Manual ยง 17.
