MEMORANDUM


TO:    The Senate

FROM:  Faculty Affairs Committee

DATE:  March 18, 1990

SUBJ:  Sale of Complimentary Textbooks

DISPOSITION: Upon approval, to the presiding officer for implementation


Whereas, the sale of solicited and unsolicited textbooks to book stores and 
book buyers tends to increase the price paid for textbooks by students and reduces 
royalties received by colleagues who write textbooks;

Therefore Be It Resolved, that it is the sense of this body that the sale of solicited 
and unsolicited textbooks to book buyers and book stores for personal profit should 
be strongly discouraged; and

Be It Further Resolved, that faculty are encouraged to donate unwanted examination 
copies to libraries, to students, or to other agencies actively concerned with 
promoting educational purposes.
