UConnPIRG works toward affordable textbooks and access codes - Lillian Whittaker, Daily Campus

Student activist group UConnPIRG will increase their efforts this semester in their “Action Plan for Affordable Textbooks” campaign, which advocates for affordable class materials like open educational resources, by engaging with professors and the greater University of Connecticut community. “Our goal for the (end of the) semester is we are trying to do four to five department presentation on national findings on textbooks statistics and sources professors have on the university,” Kharl Reynado, state board chair of UConnPIRG students, Affordable Textbooks campaign coordinator and sixth-semester economics and human rights major, said. http://dailycampus.com/stories/2018/1/31/uconnpirg
