"College textbooks cost too much. College textbook prices have risen 812% since 1978, far outpacing the rate of price increase for medical services (575%), new home prices (325%), and the Consumer Price Index (250%). From 2003 to 2013 college textbook prices rose 82%, approximately triple the rate of inflation in overall consumer prices (CPI) during the same time (27%). Meanwhile, research shows that students who used open textbooks tended to have higher grades and lower withdrawal rates than their peers who used traditional textbooks.
