dc.description.abstractWhen faced with buying expensive textbooks, many students choose not to register for a course; others delay purchasing them, share them with others, or strain to afford them. According to the Student Association Financial Accessibility Working Group Final Report, "students can shell out hundreds of dollars a semester just for the costs of textbooks, a sum that some students on Rice campus cannot possibly afford." This virtual panel discussion explored the problem of expensive course materials and strategies for reducing these costs.
