- Consumer prices for college textbooks increased 88% from January 2006 to July 2016 (compared to 21% for all items). A longer look back shows that textbook costs have risen over three times the rate of inflation since January 1977. From “How OER Impact Student Success” at http://libguides.uta.edu/utacares/success
- From Open Textbook Network Presenter Slides: “[Textbook prices] have all been going up at a much faster rate than any other consumer product,” said Mark Perry, a finance and business economics professor at the University of Michigan-Flint.

- Wisconsin HOPE Lab survey found that “44 percent of community college students and 33 percent of state university students said they were dealing with hunger issues, and 49 percent of the former and 32 of the latter reported having housing insecurity.“ 10-13% struggle with homelessness. http://www.telegram.com/news/20180511/state-survey-shows-hunger-homelessness-common-problem-at-public-colleges http://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2017/02/08/513902272/the-number-of-hungry-and-homeless-students-rises-along-with-college-costs
- From Open Textbook Network Presenter Slides: Not that many people know that United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights actually has language embedded within it concerning the importance of equal access to higher education (A26). You might think of those people around the world, in third world countries, them. But no we are also talking about here in this country, where people who do not have equal access to higher ed. And we are talking about an issue that is much broader than just textbooks.
