Opinion: California's universities should back open textbooks - The San Diego Union-Tribune

Print
The price of higher education has increased rapidly and students are suffering. With an ongoing pandemic, many students are forced to decide between their textbooks or going hungry. No one should have to make this decision because they desire a higher degree, it is unfair. Thankfully, the California Public Interest Research Group (CALPIRG) is working to make college more affordable.
CALPIRG is working to get an Open Textbook Grant Program at the University of California schools to give professors the necessary incentives to use that option. Open textbooks are free and published under an open license, which makes it possible to download and use. This option allows students to focus on their health while getting an excellent education.
