Oregon students and faculty rally to tackle texbook costs - Ronald Clark, Kezi

Students and faculty at Lane Community College (LCC) in Eugene held a press conference Thursday morning to present their investigative report entitled "Open 101: an Action Plan for Affordable Textbooks." Sabrina Najaf-Pir, along with Lucas Gutterman, and Meggie Wright spearheaded the press conference by pointing out multiple different sources identified in the report that provide free online material to students. To produce the study, the United States Public Interest Research Group (U.S. PIRG) and Oregon State Public Interest Research Group (OSPIRG) collected data from 40 public and private non-profit two and four year colleges. http://www.kezi.com/content/news/Students-and-faculty-rally-to-tackle-textbook-cost-471180013.html
