The Campaign to Make Textbooks Affordable teamed up with the University College Student Governing Association and the New Jersey Public Interest Research Group Student Chapters in an effort to gain 3000 student signatures to support a resolution to lower the costs of textboobs.
The campaign began Feb. 19 and in the first hour and a half, over 300 signatures were collected and the total thus far is over 1700. According to campaign organizers, textbook prices have increased at four times the rate of inflation between 1994 and 2005, and they urged students to take "textbook matters into their own hands."
