"Proud to announce that @UofILSystem will receive $1M in federal funding from @usedgov's Open Textbook Pilot Program to expand their ongoing efforts to make college textbooks more affordable for every student. https://www.durbin.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/university-of-illinois-system-awarded-1-million-open-textbook-pilot-grant"
"Open textbooks have long been a priority of mine. No student should be forced to put themselves at a disadvantage just because they cannot afford the required textbooks. I look forward to continue my work pushing for open textbooks and other ways to make college more affordable."
