Question - Alumni Directory
  

A member of the college's Information Technology (IT) staff is assigned the project of creating a computerized alumni directory that can be used by the college's fundraising staff in an upcoming capital campaign. The IT staff member responds by creating a user-friendly, efficient program that sorts alumni information in a number of ways (i.e. by date of graduation, profession, salary, geographic location, etc.). The fundraising staff has a very successful campaign and is convinced that the new computerized directory is to be credited. May the IT staff member market the program to other institutions? After all, he created it.
