Law Makes Textbook Prices Transparent to Ore. Students - Maria Carrasco, Inside Higher Ed

Starting next year, Oregon’s public colleges will be required by law to disclose textbook prices before students enroll in classes. A spokesperson for the University of Oregon said the institution is working on updating its website to ensure compliance with the law by next fall. The ​Association of American Publishers, which represents book, journal and education publishers in the U.S., welcomed the news. "AAP is supportive of legislation like this because we believe that students benefit when colleges provide clarity and visibility regarding costs, and because we are deeply committed to affordability in course materials," Maria A. Pallante, president and CEO of the AAP, said in a statement.
