about $134<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"minutes_text\">Prices of books is determined mainly by the actual book, the bookstore does not have a lot of say in the prices\n<ul>\n<li class=\"minutes_text\">It in a way is the cause of the professors because if they require an expensive book then the bookstore has to sell it at an expensive price<\/li>\n<li class=\"minutes_text\">It can also be determined by the Faculty Adoption list\n<ul>\n<li class=\"minutes_text\">If the adoption list by the faculty is submitted late it may cause the bookstore to buy the book with rushed shopping making the books more expensive<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"minutes_text\">Affordability Ad Hoc committee is meeting soon\n<ul>\n<li class=\"minutes_text\">They have grant money to possibly be donated to the survey to boost incentive or possibly to the the bookstore to lower the cost of the books<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"minutes_text\">Possibly asking faculty to give
