You serve on the advisory committee of the University’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 bookstore wishes to stock Simple Study Guides, a popular series of plot summaries and character analyses of classic literary works. In similar bookstores, the sale of Simple Study Guides yields annual profits of more than $10,000. Six academic departments have signed a statement condemning the idea.
Write a detailed memo stating either your support for the bookstore head or the academic departments. Ensure that you give clear and substantial reasoning to back your decision.
