The idea is that the university would subsidize the cost of the professor to take a term a year off to write the text book. The cost would be passed on to the students, but would save them absurd amounts of money in the long run (since they would no longer have to pay for text books each term).
Once the base textbook was done, other professors could easily take some time to add to the book while planning their courses.
