Have you had an instructor who increased access and equity by selecting free or low cost course materials for class? Nominate them as an Affordable Education Champion to let them know how much their choices meant to you!
Affordable Education Champions are instructors who assign free or low cost resources — like textbooks, websites, films, and more — for their courses. (Because the “low cost” definition can vary by discipline, we invite you to determine what that means for you.) Sometimes they author their own materials, and sometimes they’re able to reuse free or low-cost work created by others. We share gratitude and appreciation for their commitment to fostering access to high quality education at the lowest possible cost barrier for their students.
UT Libraries and the Senate of College Councils will recognize some instructors in promotional materials on our websites and social media. All instructors will be made aware of their nominations.
Nominations will be accepted from Wednesday, 2/2 through Wednesday, 2/23. Share your nominations in this form.
Check out last year’s selected Affordable Education Champions: Dr. Beth E. Bukoski, Dr. James Curley, Dr. Kirkland (Alex) Fulk, Dr. Paul McCord, and Dr. George Pollak.
