In October 2015, McGraw-Hill Education was accused of whitewashing history after it had published a geography textbook with a caption referring to American slaves as "workers."[48] The company quickly apologized^[1], promised to update the digital version of the materials, and offered schools replacement texts at no charge^[2].

The following changes are requested to update the informational accuracy of the McGraw-Hill Education page:

The branded logo currently in use: see header of www.mheducation.com.

New entry for the “Corporate History” section: • In 2018, McGraw-Hill launches textbook rental program, adding to affordable options available for college students. (see https://www.mheducation.com/news-media/press-releases/rental-program-makes-course-materials-more-affordable.html)

Updates to names of operating segments in “Corporate Organization” section to reflect current naming: • McGraw-Hill School • McGraw-Hill Higher Education • McGraw-Hill Professional • McGraw-Hill International — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.225.38.245 (talk) 21:23, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

The McGraw-Hill logo that is featured on this page is no longer in use. The current logo, updated as of March 2019, is featured within the header of the company's web site at www.mheducation.com.

The following changes are requested to update the informational accuracy of the Corporate History section.

On May 1, 2019, the company announced an agreement to merge with Cengage. The merged company is expected to retain McGraw Hill as the corporate name.[29][30]

The new company will by McGraw Hill without the hyphen according to this source currently cited: [29] https://www.insidehighered.com/digital-learning/article/2019/05/02/cengage-and-mcgraw-hill-merge

And these additional sources: https://www.edsurge.com/news/2019-05-01-cengage-mcgraw-hill-agree-to-merge-to-become-2nd-biggest-us-textbook-publisher https://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2019/05/01/boston-based-cengage-merge-with-rival-publisher-mcgraw-hill/slJHfQJzWOoHzVKLL3Ej5K/story.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by Newyork950 (talk • contribs) 14:16, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

In the last paragraph of the opening, quite a few words and phrases are used that give it a very promotional tone. Buzzwords included "one-to-one student-teacher interaction", "McGraw Hill now provides digital products and services", and "11 million users on over 1,500 adaptive products". Does anyone else agree this needs attention?JazzClam (talk) 19:25, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

And "more than 3,900 employees". I doubt that means very many more than 3,900, so in ordinary non-marketing language, it means "about 4,000". There is also "over 135 countries" and "60+ languages". Why not "about 140" and "about 60"? And "over 11 million users" and "over 1,500 adaptive products". Companies never seem to have "less than" some number of anything desirable – it's always "over" or "more than". I'm also not very fond of how their products "enable" something and the description of the company as a "learning company" in the opening sentence ("McGraw Hill is an American learning company"). —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 21:16, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

In 2014, the company aquired Engrade 2600:1008:B123:D955:59E0:2640:A7DE:CA6 (talk) 01:44, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

In 2014, McGraw Hill acquired Engrade. 174.192.134.20 (talk) 17:19, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

In 2021, McGraw Hill acquired Kidaptive 2600:1008:B149:31E2:E09A:B677:A9BA:7E31 (talk) 19:59, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

"McGraw Hill has been accused of using online access codes included with texts to prevent students from reselling used books. During the COVID-19 pandemic, when many students were studying remotely, the company was accused of price gouging, in charging several times more for ebooks than for print texts."

There's a citation for this area: https://www.theguardian.com/education/2021/jan/29/price-gouging-from-covid-student-ebooks-costing-up-to-500-more-than-in-print

The Guardian article mentions "Fundamentals of Corporate Business, published by McGraw Hill, was £65.99 in print and £528 as a single user ebook."

I cannot find any history of this book in print or text form. I see "Fundamentals of Corporate Finance", but the pricing/historic pricing doesn't match up. I am not trying to dispute that there was price gouging or that this is a legitimate controversy, the article itself just does not seem to pass the sniff test.

The "Works" section has one item and should clearly be expanded on or removed. McGraw Hill has hundreds of thousands of "Works" in its history. 24.160.193.151 (talk) 19:31, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

I noticed the fact that Robert Maxwell got joint ownership in 1989 was removed, and even the edit log is gone for when it was removed. Very strange. ~2026-13648-05 (talk) 03:28, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

My edit is not LLM-generated, all I did is cite a source and a reference. ~2026-34360-03 (talk) 05:27, 22 June 2026 (UTC)

I apologize @~2026-34360-03, i saw "synergize" and I assumed that it was an LLM that made this. It's one of the common words that LLMs use when generating text. ~2026-35622-93 (talk) 16:10, 22 June 2026 (UTC)
