' U' committee votes
against the DSP, finds
need to improve oversight
By Kelly Fraser
Daily News Editor
Member of Students Organizing for
Labor and Economic Equality's "Sweat-
free" campaign anxiously awaiting the
University's review of the Designated
Suppliers Program and the current Ven-
dor Code of Conduct received mixed
news of change last month.
The vendor code monitors conditions
and procedures of University licensed
apparel suppliers.
While a review by the University's
Labor Standards and Human Rights
Committee found enforcement prob-
lems with the vendor code, the DSP did
not garner high marks.
The DSP - the goal of the ongoing
"Sweatfree" campaign - would extend
international labor laws to include pro-
visions requiring union representation
for workers and that workers are paid
a "living wage," or the minimum wage
needed to sustain workers and their
families for a 48-hour workweek.
The DSP also requires regular
inspections by the Worker Rights Con-
sortium - the nonprofit organization
developing the program.
Since September 2005, SOLE
members, often sporting chains or red
armbands, were a visible presence on
campus through marches and dem-
onstrations. In April, the Michigan
Student Assembly passed a resolution
supporting SOLE and the DSP, urging
Coleman to adopt the program.
The committee's recommendations
do not mark the end of the issue for
either the University or SOLE.
During an April meeting with con-
cerned SOLE members, Coleman
emphasized that the recommendation
does not mean the University will no
longer consider the DSP or may not
adopt the program in the future.
"For the committee to say to me the
DSP is not the right route is not reject-
ing the problem," Coleman said.
Coleman told the group she had pre-
viously declined their repeated requests
for a meeting in order to follow protocol
and allow the committee time to com-
plete its task.

At the meeting, SOLE members
stressed their desire to stay involved in
further developments with the Univer-
sity's decisions regarding the DSP or
any alternative proposals.
Following the Labor Standards and
Human Rights Committee's report
last month, University President
Mary Sue Coleman accepted the rec-
ommendation not to implement the
program in a letter to committee chair
Lawrence Root dated May 2.
In her letter, Coleman directed the
committee to work with groups, such
as the WRC, to develop feasible ways
to improve the VCC.
Members unanimously voted
to recommend that the University
upgrade oversight and enforcement
procedures, but voted against a mea-
sure to recommend the DSP to Cole-
man by a seven-to-two vote.
In its report, the committee recog-
nized faults with the enforcement of
the University's current vendor code,
including the logistical challenge of
monitoring all factories producing
clothing with the University logo and
that competition may discourage facto-
ries from following code. The commit-
tee also noted the University may have
little influence over suppliers' behavior.
In his report to Coleman, Root
expressed concern over the University's
ability to enforce the current version of
the DSP because the University has more
than 500 licensees. He also cited reser-
vations about the program's premise that
factories with better working conditions
are disadvantaged when competing with
suppliers who do not follow code.
Not everyone on the committee is
in agreement about the DSP. In a letter
outlining his disagreement with the rec-
ommendation, committee member and
RC Prof. Ian Robinson said the DSP
was dismissed too quickly as a possible
solution.
Robinson and SOLE members also
suggested including more undergradu-
ates and non-tenure faculty on future
committees.
Coleman - who also charged the
University's Trademark and Licens-
ing Office to set standards mandat-
ing licensees to document the Code's
enforcement - set a deadline of
December 2006 for the committee's
next progress report on changes to
the Code.


SACUA
continued from page 3
member Semyon Meerkov. The concern is
that anonymous reporting may lead to the
hotline's misuse and aloss of trust,he said.
"We already have hotlines on campus
and you can do anonymous (reporting)
now," Coleman said in response.
Coleman said although some reports
may be false, they must be considered.
"I wish people never broke the law, but
in fact, they do," she said.
SACUA members also questioned
Coleman about recruiting more women
and minorities into University faculty.
Discussion focused on the Advanced
Project, a proposed five-year effort involv-

ing 14 universities aiming to increase the
number of women in science.
SACUA member Keith Riles said the
University needs to work on its appeal to
women. Nearly all potential female fac-
ulty turned down a job at the University
because they can find better jobs else-
where, he said.
Coleman said the University has made
more progress than the other universities
involved in the project but efforts to estab-
lish a more diverse faculty will continue.
Women are concerned that University
tenure policies are not accommodating to
motherhood, Coleman said, adding that
both women and men should be able to
obtain time off to raise their children.
