New Bill Would Require Textbooks to be Listed Alongside Course Schedule:

Senator Richard Durbin (D, IL)--with Norm Coleman (R, MN) as original cosponsor--has introduced a bill entitled the "College Textbook Affordability Act of 2007." The bill seeks to identify ways of decreasing the cost of college textbooks and supplemental materials by mandating certain disclosures, some of which will directly involve institutional registrars.
