Inside Bay Area.com: UC initiates logo sweatshop policy

The University of California has agreed to participate in a student-initiated program to curb the sale of logo apparel made in overseas sweatshops.

In a letter sent last week to campus chancellors, UC President Robert Dynes said the university will participate in the Designated Suppliers Program developed by United Students Against Sweatshops, a national organization that urges campuses to purchase goods only from suppliers that enforce minimum working standards.
