You serve on the Advisory Committee of your college’s bookstore, which is a private business that leases
space on campus and donates 10 percent of its profits to student scholarships. The head of the

analyses of classic literary works. In similar bookstores, the sale of Simple Study Guides yields annual
profits of over $10,000. Six academic departments have signed a statement condemning the idea. Should
you support the bookstore head or the academic departments?
