Urge your Representative to Keep Voting to Lower Textbook Prices

The US House passed legislation on February 7, 2008 that will help curb textbook costs nationally – with the support of most New Jersey Representatives!

The bill:

• Requires publishers to disclose the prices and revision histories of textbooks to faculty.
• Requires publishers to sell textbooks and supplemental materials unbundled.
• Requires schools to provide students with their list of textbooks, so students have time to shop for the lowest prices and prepare for the full expense.

Official roll call to amend and extend the Higher Education Act of 1965 (Passed 354 to 58):
