| VA | Signed into law 03/2006 | Postsec. | Provides that the governing boards of public institutions of higher education must implement policies for minimizing the cost of textbooks
for students at colleges and universities. The guidelines must include:
• that faculty textbook adoptions are made with sufficient lead time to university- or contract-managed bookstores so as to confirm availability of the requested materials and, where possible, ensure maximum availability of used textbooks;
• that in the textbook adoption process, the intent to use all items ordered, particularly each individual item sold as part of a bundled package, is affirmatively confirmed by the faculty member before the adoption is finalized. If the faculty member does not intend to use each item in the bundled package, he shall notify the bookstore, and the bookstore shall order the individualized items when their procurement is cost effective for both institutions and students and such items are made available by the publisher;
• that faculty members affirmatively acknowledge the bookstore's quoted retail price of textbooks selected for use in each course;
• that faculty members are encouraged to limit their use of new edition textbooks when previous editions do not significantly differ in a substantive way as determined by the appropriate faculty member; and
• that the establishment of policies shall include provisions for the availability of required textbooks to students otherwise unable to afford the cost.
The measure further provides that no funds for financial aid from university bookstore
revenue may be counted in the calculation for state appropriations for student financial aid.
