The New York Times has an on-line editorial (the Board Blog) called That Textbook Costs How Much? $200? supporting our efforts to make textbooks affordable. The House Education and Labor Committee and the Senate HELP Committee are currently working to conference their Higher Education Act Reauthorization Bills. The House bill includes language to make textbooks more affordable by mandating publishers provide the price of textbooks when they market them to faculty, and that they sell textbooks unbundled from their accompanying workbooks and cd-roms.
