Coping with the Cost
• Purchase an older edition of the textbook
• Delay purchasing the textbook
• Never purchase the textbook
• Share the textbook with other students
–U of MN Student
"I figured French hadn't changed that
much.”
59%
of students report that they have had to wait for
their financial aid check to purchase textbooks.

Notas del editor

  1. We’re here to talk about something more important that textbooks…
  2. This is from a study done for the US Department of Education. 2.4 million did not finish college because of cost in the first decade of this century.
  3. Compare the proportion of cost that students must contribute in 1989 to today.
  4. Graph of state where presentation is being made. Data can be found at http://www.sheeo.org.
  5. 200-400 hours = a full time job in the summer. 2080 hours = full time job all year (40 hours x 52 weeks) – we’re getting close to this today University of Minnesota data
  6. Include institution’s data – can be found at http://ticas.org/posd/map-state-data-2015
  7. Consumer Revolving Credit = Credit Card Debt
  8. Admit that it’s not the highest cost leading to these affordability issues – but it is: the one cost that we as faculty can impact it has a special impact on the academic success of students (as we’ll see later)
  9. Admit that it’s not the highest cost leading to these affordability issues – but it is: the one cost that we as faculty can impact it has a special impact on the academic success of students (as we’ll see later)
  10. “[Textbook prices] have all been going up at a much faster rate than any other consumer product,” said Mark Perry, a finance and business economics professor at the University of Michigan-Flint.
  11. To get the institution’s estimate – Google “[name of institution] cost of attendance” and find the “books and supplies” category.
