The Bake Sale was an event organized by the Columbia College Conservative Club in 2004.

The club set up a stall selling baked goods at different prices to men and women of different races. The highest prices were charged for Asian women (?) and the lowest to black men (?). This was intended to highlight different treatment of different students by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions under the university's affirmative action policy.

Protests ensued. No surprises there.
