The high cost of textbooks is a major obstacle for college students pursuing their educational goals. Students have to make impossible choices – between textbooks and food, between expensive materials and poor grades – while the publishing
market generates huge profits at students’ expense.
Oregon’s colleges have made progress on lowering the cost of course materials, thanks in part to strong advocacy from student groups. In this webinar, some of our student activists will talk about strategies that they have pursued to promote
affordable textbooks on their campuses. Other student leaders will come away with new ideas they can use to advocate for lowering costs at their own schools.
