The cost of college is incredibly high, and yet according to the College Board students also have to pay around a thousand dollars a year on textbooks. Textbook prices have increased at over four times the rate of inflation because of the price-hiking tactics of the publishing industry.

Open textbooks provide an immediate solution. These textbooks are published under an open license so they are FREE!

We're calling on the UC Regents to establish a grant program to incentivize faculty to use open textbooks.

Similar grant programs have saved students millions of dollars at other university systems. Let's bring open textbooks to our UC classes and help fight the cost of college!

The CALPIRG chapter at UC Davis is also working to fight plastic pollution and commit our county to 100% clean energy transportation.
