College textbook costs have skyrocketed at 4 times inflation affecting students, families, and professors alike. Affordable textbook solutions are needed!



We the undersigned believe the following:

Textbooks should be affordable. Publishers should stop raising prices unfairly and offer a way to access each textbook for $30 or less per term without lowering quality.

High-quality, affordable textbooks already exist in many subjects. Professors can reduce costs by considering these options.

Open textbooks are an ideal solution, because they can be freely accessed, adapted and printed at a low cost. Decision-makers should prioritize support for open textbooks.

A compiled list of petition signatures will be delivered to college administrators and legislators to promote affordable textbook solutions.
