The primary one would be that textbook publishers try as hard as possible to kill off the used book market, and one of the sleaziest ways they have of doing this is to bring out new editions every couple of years, with the only change being renumbering of the homework problems. | |

The university may or may not know about this and may or may not have an opinion, but "they" aren't doing it. | |
