Wong said the Coop originally set the price of the sourcebooks at 50 dollars.
Two weeks before the start of the first semester, she says she was told that the Coop had miscalculated and the books would actually cost 85 dollars.

Wong said she was outraged.
"We told them that's impossible," Wong said. "It's going to be an uproar and students will be furious."
After negotiations with the Coop, Wong said they agreed to reduce the sourcebook back to the price that had been set originally.
But Wong said she was unable to negotiate an acceptable price with the Coop for the spring semester's sourcebook.
She said the Coop insisted on charging 95 dollars per sourcebook to make up for the money lost in the first semester.
