- vonneumannstan 4mo agoSo you're saying colleges will just increase tuition to cover the cost of textbooks right?

- dyauspitr 4mo agoAnd what, use the historically fabulously successful flat model?
- Eddy_Viscosity2 4mo agoThen students will just end up paying more in tuition, possibly more than the costs of textbooks. That extra money of course will go to increasing either/both the university president's or lead football coach's salaries.
- arikrahman 4mo agoThe colleges will raise tuition anyways, and they do it at a runaway cost. Might as well throw in something useful and tangible like textbooks that they can bargain wholesale with the publishers. Individually, the students can only beg.
