Why a MN state rep says his textbook legislation is needed
State Rep. King Banaian (R-St. Cloud) tells the Minnesota Daily that textbook publishers are required to release custom-text information and pricing info to faculty, but no one says how that's supposed to get into the hands of students:
“What my bill does is try to provide this information that already exists … and get it to students hopefully at a time where they have a chance to look at all of the alternatives they have to get that textbook at the lowest price possible."
