WVU students and faculty working towards affordable textbooks - Kathryn Ghion, WBOY

Some students and faculty at West Virginia University recently participated in a national study by the non-profit advocacy organization U.S. Public Interest Research Group called “Open 101: an Action Plan for Affordable Textbooks”, which looked at textbook affordability on a national scale. Those same members of the WVU community are also taking action to make sure students on campus have access to the materials they need. “What can we do better in the state of West Virginia and generate efficiencies and savings not only for students in higher education, but for the taxpayer in K though 12 education?” asked WVU Student Government Association Blake Humphrey. http://www.wboy.com/news/education/wvu-students-and-faculty-working-towards-affordable-textbooks/961285290
