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).

The College Republican club is not a "busiess."

It's a just another club on campus, raising awareness of a very political issue.

Raising money for a political club is not a "busiess."

At any rate, the people complaining were not overcharged for the donuts, so there is no harm done to them.

The college administration was wrong on this, and I suspect the College Republican club will outsmart them again in the near future.
