Well, I wouldn’t be so affirmative. There is also something called the “academic exception”, according to which the work-for-hire doctrine may not apply in the academe. Much has been written in the past decade about this issue, with no definitive conclusion; see, for instance, this recent paper:

Strauss, N. S. (2011). Anything but academic: How copyright’s work-for-hire doctrine affects professors, graduate students, and K-12 teachers in the information age. Richmond Journal of Law & Technology, 18(1). http://jolt.richmond.edu/v18i1/article4.pdf
