ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Maryland universities, colleges and community colleges would have to clearly outline free and lower-cost course materials, along with textbook and other fees associated with a course, in the institution’s catalog, per a bill under the Maryland General Assembly, should it pass.
The idea came out of a University of Maryland Student Government Association meeting, according to the group’s director of government affairs, Samay Kindra, who pitched the idea to the House sponsor of the bill, Delegate Vaughn Stewart, D-Montgomery.
“We’re not asking for money or anything, we’re asking for information,” Kindra, a senior international business and economics major at the University of Maryland, told Capital News Service last week.

Absolutely for transparency. Especially when universities make the required readings some dinky manual written by the university professors themselves.
“We’re not asking for money or anything, we’re asking for information,” Kindra said.
They'd probably get money easier than getting actual information.
Like, Like, Like my like class, like cost like 180.00 dollars.
And like the book cost like 300.00
but like my mommy like paid for it.
3:35....like, stop STEREOTYPING dude. MANY, MANY students pay their own way, and carry debt for years.
Along with the cost of the course they need to tell the cost for each of the administrative departments so they can see that they are not paying for an education but to support a bureaucracy
Whenever a dem politician loses an election they end up at a new make busy job in the University of Maryland bureaucracy. Martin OMalley sitting back collecting $200k and a former Md senator and OC mayor is at UMES at $155K trying to look busy at a job that didn’t exist until he lost election. Executive Welfare does exist.
