    • How many colleges are getting rid of textbooks because they are too expensive (~50% of tuition on average)
      • Openstax.org
      • OSU Affordable Learning Exchange
      • First Gen Dreamer Student talked about how high schools aren’t preparing students for college.
      • How we treat students who are expelled or put in detention and how it puts students behind and leads to a worse situation for the student.
      • Media literacy and teaching students to tell real/fake news.
        • This will many times send people down the wrong path.
        • Combat by having students take a fact and try to push it from each side’s agenda
