The closely held companies, formally known as McGraw-Hill Education Inc. and Cengage Learning Holdings II Inc., are billing the all-stock deal as a rare merger of equals, which would set them up to better compete as the rise of digital books and course materials pressures their businesses.
It’s sweet you think Gen-Z reads books. Textbooks.
This is why we need Elizabeth Warren.
JusticeATR would be nice if you did anything periodically
This is just start of things. Textbook publishers have to change their business models and quick
block it. antitrust. come on politicians -- do something already!!!
Lol antitrust laws, what're those
college texts come out with a new edition every 2 to 3 years to control peak market price. They change the cover and reorder the questions so you can't use an old text and the University bookstores are complicit. It is a RICO case if I ever heard one. text with 37 editions scam.
That’s not good news for students
Or McGraw Hill could put their money into fixing their horrible Connect interface. If students weren’t forced to use it, they wouldn’t buy it. McGraw Hill can’t compete.
kimmytaylor Wow. This is big
aren't textbook prices already super high? how will this affect students and publishers?
why not use tablets for textbooks?
Dear TheJusticeDept, THIS is what anti-trust law was designed for. Stop this merger!
anybody figured out college text books are a scam yet?
