BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- An Indiana University student group announced Tuesday that it will hold an anti-affirmative action bake sale Wednesday.
The group, Committee for Freedom, is trying to persuade IU officials to ban the collection of racial data, particularly in the admissions and hiring processes.
According to a news release, the group plans to sell cookies at different prices based on race and gender. White males will pay $1 per cookie, white females will pay 75 cents, Hispanics will pay 50 cents, and cookies will cost 25 cents for black people.
"We believe in the equality of all people," the group's president, Stephan Jerabek, said in the news release. "Through this bake sale, we hope to highlight the absurdity of preferences based on race, ethnicity, or gender."
The group plans to start a petition at the event that will be presented to school officials.
