  • Ha ha, that’s cute, you think there is are admins and procurement teams involved. The book publishers sell this shit directly to the professors, and usually the university can’t get involved because of the way the profs contracts are setup. Pearson builds their platform for making the profs job easier, not for any benefit to the students.














  • That is wild, but it makes sense. Staples isn’t really interested in me buying a pen, and I am guessing the average person does not use a pen that often anymore. However, Staples is really interested in getting a contract with my employer to make sure the office is well stocked with pens, paper, and other office supplies. Depending on how distribution works, it is possible to sell less pens and make more money. If all the pens go to the same three companies that could be cheaper then shipping pens to 15 different stores.
