The Pierce College Academic Senate discussed a resolution on the reduction of textbook pricing in the bookstore.
The Pierce College bookstore has to deal with complex issues that range from: getting approval from the Board of Trustees, publishing companies and competing with online markets, and meeting certain profit margin criteria.
“We’ve been interested in this issue for some time and are interested in getting the prices down for publisher retail price and the overall price down,” said Phil Stein, Senator Emeritus.
