Where in the world is the university procuring the textbooks? Does that
not seem a bit on the high side for you? Most of the time the
instructors/profs will not use the entire text. Perhaps the instructor can
outline which portions of the text s/he will be using and get only those
portions transcribed? As a transcriber, I've done this many times. That
figure is absolutely crazy.
