CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The College Republicans at UNC-Charlotte will be holding a mock bake sale Tuesday to protest affirmative action.

From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., they will be at the Belk Tower, charging different prices for different races and sexes. It is something they have done for the past three years.

But this year, several other student organizations want to respond with a protest of their own. They say they are outraged by the mock bake sale.

“We want to raise awareness that affirmative action shouldn’t be dealt with in such a simplistic matter,” organizer Terrence James said Thursday.

Elizabeth Beck, a member of the College Republicans, said her group is just trying to get people talking about the issue.
