Are you being employeed by UC to conduct university research projects?

Graduate students aren't considered employee's of a University.

However, when I did my graduate research at UCLA 40+ years ago, the
result was considered "for" the University, not for me as a private
individual.

I would put it this way: If the University intends to patent any part of the
research, then the ARS should not be used.
