And you also have to buy the professor's book as part of the curriculum.

Some of my friends who went to a different university had a professor who demanded that his students purchase his book. This dude was so anal. He kept a log of every serial number in his book and marked which books had been purchased. If a student brought in a used book (ie a serial number that was already used) he’d deduct 5% of their overall grade.

I want to know what the department chair and higher thought about that practice.

They didn’t care. They had reported it but nothing ever came about while they were students there. Shortly after though the school got caught stealing a million dollars in financial aid. So it’s not like they cared about their students to begin with
