Dear all OCADU students taking LBST 1B04, Many of you have already heard that OCADU has made an art history textbook that has NO pictures because they could not get copyright permission in time. Many of you, like me, are shocked and appalled and rightly so. To ask us, the students--who mind you are already paying thousands of dollars--to pay 180.00$ plus tax, for a temporary textbook that does not have any pictures of the pieces we will be studying, is preposterous. Pictures are essential for studying art history, needless to say. And giving us an extra online resource of the photos to go with the purchase of a textbook is really not enough. The creation of this textbook is a waste of our money and should not have been printed until copyright permission was acquired. We, the students, demand either that: 1) we get a full refund of the textbook at the end of the year, Or 2)that we study from the old stockstad textbooks, and that only curriculum from those books is taught. Or 3) that the entire text from the textbook be put up online with the photos and that we may access them for a discount price
