Is this a joke? Why would you force people to stop using textbooks? LOL.
Scott Jacques at South Carolina. The faculty were all really impressed with the work he's done with ...Qual...Crim... and also love his idea to force all the faculty to stop using textbooks. He is so progressive.

How do people teach dumb undergrads without textbooks? You can’t assign empirical articles to them; it’s way above their comprehension. What’s the point anyways? Some textbooks are pretty good.

Maybe what he suggested is not using textbooks that cost money to buy for the students, but instead use open access sources. He is big on open access.

Yes, of course. But staking your chair application on getting all of the faculty to stop using textbooks because you're big on open access, and then saying once everyone on faculty stops using textbooks there will be lots of flattering news stories written about you is likely not very convincing to many faculty. If I read a chair application that went on about this I'd roll my eyes and look for better applicants.

He should’ve been like everyone else. That’s the best way to have an impact. You’re exactly what’s wrong with criminology. Spend some time reflecting. I haven’t seen his application but it’s laughable that so many people in this thread are so pro textbooks. Stockholm syndrome.
