[Open-education] US: Reprimand Upheld for Professor Who Wouldn’t Assign $180 Text

Mon Nov 9 17:43:42 UTC 2015

Hi all

A long-running saga with a conclusion (probably not the very end of the story) involving a heady mix of faculty politics, OER, cost issues, and potential conflict of interest in the brew.

One might argue that OER is coming of age once such cases start appearing.

I suggest you also read the comment stream now appearing below the post.

Those outside the US would be unwise to say “It can’t happen here”.

To Bourget, the fight is not over. “I am fighting for academic freedom, lowering the cost of education and especially to give a better education to my students -- I will not abandon this fight,” he said.
