I find it laughable that people think that $1500 a year (ballpark) is 'cutting costs' when annual tuition is on the order of $50,000. That is an order of magnitude of difference. Maybe students care about it because it is the only cost they really feel, but come on, these efforts are marginal at best. I thinking open textbooks are an incredibly important initiative, but they don't make a meaningful dent in college costs.
- kevinnk 9y agoAverage annual state University tuition for residents is more like 10k. Cutting 10-15% of that doesn't seem marginal to me.
