Student senate working on textbook grant for faculty - Sarah Hollis, Grand Valley Lanthorn

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, college tuition and fees in the U.S. have risen 63 percent since January 2006. Many factors have contributed to this increase, one of which is rising textbook prices. To help lower the cost of textbooks for students, the Grand Valley State University student senate is partnering with faculty to create a committee that would work to fund a stipend to encourage professors to use or create open textbook resources. http://www.lanthorn.com/article/2018/02/news-student-senate-working-on-textbook-grant
