Pat Lohmann at the New Mexico Daily Lobo is reporting that students at the University of New Mexico (UNM) created a “textbook graveyard,” which consisted of a pile of textbooks that UNM’s bookstore would not buy back. The protest was organized by UMN Public Interest Research Group. From the article:

“Right now, with the state the economy is in, everyone is having a hard time,” she [Sophomore Lindsay Laine] said. “I think that the Bookstore, and textbooks in general, create a monopoly. Students have to buy them, and the prices that they’re charging are ridiculous. I just think it’s a whole bureaucratic, corrupt system.”
