@micaelaseals If they wrote the book, it is likely the product of how they were teaching the subject anyway. No conflict.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@DChristianson Even if the book is being required for the course and sold to the students? That compensation would go to the faculty member.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@micaelaseals It’s certainly debatable, but if I write a textbook, I would likely regard it as the best book out there to teach from.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@DChristianson Understandable, but with bias. It’d certainly be easy to take advantage of position for money at student expense… literally.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@micaelaseals Definitely could be unethical depending on primary intent of the requirement. A dilemma of capitalism for sure.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
@DChristianson @micaelaseals I think my royalty rate is a dollar a book if they buy it new instead of used or downloading pdf illegally :)
