Summary:

"Sen. Dick Durbin successfully championed a $5 million pilot grant in the fiscal year 2018 omnibus spending bill to support the development of open educational resources, which can be a commonsense solution to help reduce the cost burden for students. However, as the Department of Education explores how best to utilize these funds, it is important to recognize that these resources have shortcomings that must be addressed."
