from a colleague's class

This was just sent from a colleague's class: "I am selling my notes from class. I have an A. They include the page numbers that **** refers to. Tell me what you are willing to pay."

I wonder if this student knows that a professor's class notes are considered intellectual property and as such belong to the professor? The relevant wordage from the university cataloge follows:
(b) Unacceptable Student Behaviors
The following behavior is subject to disciplinary sanctions:
(14) Unauthorized recording, dissemination, or publication of academic presentations (including handwritten notes) for a commercial purpose.

You know, if I were this student, I'd rethink this one.

I'd report the student before the student has the chance to rethink it. I'm tired, tired, tired of this sort of thing. =/
