(2) According to the College Board, during the 
2021–2022 academic year, the average student 
budget for college books and supplies at 4-year pub-
lic institutions of higher education was $1,240. 
(3) The Government Accountability Office 
found that new textbook prices increased 82 percent 
between 2002 and 2012 and that although Federal 
efforts to increase price transparency have provided 
students and families with more and better informa-
tion, more must be done to address rising costs. 
(4) The growth of the internet has enabled the 
creation and sharing of digital content, including 
open educational resources that can be freely used 
by students, teachers, and members of the public. 
(5) According to the Student PIRGs, expanded 
use of open educational resources has the potential 
to save students more than a billion dollars annually. 
(6) Federal investment in expanding the use of 
open educational resources could significantly lower 
college textbook costs and reduce financial barriers 
to higher education, while making efficient use of 
taxpayer funds.
