The UM System is partnering with textbook company Cengage to make textbooks cheaper for students, President Mun Choi announced at a UM Board of Curators meeting Friday. Based on current enrollment numbers, students across the four campuses will save an estimated $3 million a year, Cengage Chief Sales and Marketing Officer Kevin Stone told the board. The project is the system’s third recent textbook affordability initiative, after an e-book agreement with McGraw-Hill Education and a plan to adopt open educational resources.
