Mick is right in as much as intellectual copyright is 'understood' I
feel sure (but have no time to check) that this scenario is one which is
used in the DRC codes of practice, so you might like to check there.
Our Law department are the only dept which asks the students to only use
'tape recorders' in lectures and not in informal sessions, this is
because one bright spark student recorded a private conversation and
tried to use the material against the lecturer, these law students eh?

It is probably more accurate to say that usually the lecture content is
actually the property of the employer as the lecturer was paid to
write/develop the
material. Therefore university policy on recording overrides the
lecturer's
(probably) unsustainable claim of copyright.
However, this is a bit tricky. Saying the lecturer owns it is possibly
more
likely to make the student more understanding and responsible but in the
past
some lecturers have refused permission for recording, erroneously citing
the
fact that they own the material.
A compromise might be to use the shorthand of lecturer's copyright in
the
student advice and clarify the actual position in the staff copy.
