The students' intent was to underscore unfairness of the AA programs. Their actions constituted illegal trade.

Well, the people being charged the most, white males, did not complain.

The people being charged the least, females and people of color, were the ones complaining.

Why?

Forgive me, but you should do a little better. The point I've made was an explanation for shutting down the "busiess." It addressed the role of the university, adn you are talking about something else altogether.

Well, the people being charged the most, white males, did not complain. YOu cannot say that: the total sales were $1.50.

The people being charged the least, females and people of color, were the ones complaining.

They were not complaining about the price but abotu the race-based pricing (public good). All people should've complained about that, regardless of whether they benefit from a particular sale (private good).
