Task force set to fight bookstore prices
A new task force was set in motion on Monday to regulate bookstore mark-ups of textbooks per a vote by the Pierce College Academic Senate.
The Pierce bookstore mark-up is 10 percent more than the publisher’s retail price which has led to a 30 percent decrease in profits.
The task force will include professors and Associated Student Organization representatives.
“We need a plan to help everybody,” said Larry Kraus, associate vice president.
