A college try at controlling textbook costs: Tide rises for action at UW

Wisconsin is not making a legislative effort to keep textbook costs down, but Madison student groups are getting feisty about the issue.
Wisconsin Public Interest Research Group, a student- directed, student-funded statewide advocacy group in Madison, is working on local and national campaigns to reduce the cost of textbooks. WISPIRG has joined 14 other state student associations on the campaign.
