Why PIRG Is Wrong: Myths and Facts About College Textbooks

“While other higher education costs continue to rise faster than the price of textbooks, Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) projects have waged a biased and misleading campaign against publishers of textbooks. For the past two years, PIRG has disseminated inaccurate, incomplete and misleading information about college textbooks and the publishing industry. PIRG’s student volunteers ‘cherry-pick’ only a few figures to help support PIRG’s premise, creating a false and misleading picture. The organization continues to ignore industry-wide data, valid research, and information from independent, third party sources.” Source: Association of American Publishers, Inc.
