Who owns the rights?

If a faculty or staff member under contract to a university or organization develops a syllabus for a class and it includes extensive research, a suggested reading list, and basically a lot of effort on the individual's part, who "owns" the syllabus? The institution or the individual? Is it up to each individual institution to determine that? If it isn't stated in writing somewhere, can the institution still claim ownership rights?
Thanks for any help on this.
