Gates and Melinda foundation free college textbooks

[clep3705]

Twenty years ago a professor rolled in a video projector, much better than I expected the very cheap university to have. He explained that the textbook's publisher paid for it as part of a promotion based on how many copies of the publisher's books were sold at the school. That reminds me of how drug companies would pay for "medical training" vacation junkets to encourage doctors to push their pills. That has been largely outlawed. Maybe we need similar legislation for textbook publishers.
