Nah, almost never. That is usually forced by the university, publishers and, surprisingly, by the students and their parents:
Say the textbook used for the last 5 years costs $300 and now you want to switch to a different, cheaper book. Now you have to convince admin (why switch? The previous one works) and students (I pay $$$ tuition, why are you cheaping out on the book? Is it worse?).
> how much royalty do they get?
Basically nothing, so that is obviously not the reason and you should be ashamed of yourself for suggesting that.
- raincom 3y agoI don't need to be ashamed of suggesting that. These professors should be ashamed of themselves for not taking this issue with their administration. If they can't stand for these issues, how can they teach future generations?
- diffeomorphism 3y agoI see you have entirely avoided admitting you were wrong, then made up another accusation and climbed on a high horse. You obviously have no interest in solving anything, just in virtue signaling.
