Exactly. Directly from the bill "Nothing in this
section shall be construed to mandate faculty use of any particular textbook or related materials."
Western civilization, calculus, algebra, 19th century American literature. Yeah, you are going to need the up-to-date 30th-Anniversary collector's edition with never-before-read author's commentary and over 15 pages of deleted problem sets.

- lotu 14y agoThe thing is the cost of text-books can vary a lot. Very often you can get a used text book, or even a new one for cheaper than advertised by going online. Students can and do share textbooks. So publishing a total price is very impractical, and if you care that much the required texts are often listed next to the course for you to look up yourself.
