Meeting clarifies
facts about WRC
■ University students and
faculty gather Monday to
clear up issues such as the
cost of membership
By Emily Gust

Concerned students and facul
ty met in the Clark Honors College
Lounge on Monday afternoon to
open an avenue of discussion
with faculty members about the
Worker Rights Consortium.
“This is part of a long-term con
versation
that is tak
ing place
between
faculty
members
and con
cerned stu
dents,”
said Profes
sor David
Frank,
chairman
of the Faculty Advisory Council
and professor of rhetoric and com
munication in the Honors College.
The meeting, which was only
an informal discussion, was held
to begin and establish a line of
communication between faculty
and students that will continue
throughout the next year.
Human Rights Alliance mem
ber Agatha Schmaedick said the
meeting’s main goal was to further
engage faculty in the WRC issue.
“We just want to make sure that
we’ve gone through every chan
nel” to provide information about
the WRC, she said.
The meeting also aimed to
brainstorm ideas of how to deal
with the issue now and how to
m
proceed with it in the future.
“We are trying to create a con
sistent response and a visionary
outlook on what we might do to
bridge the differences of opin
ion,” Frank said.
Just less than a month ago, the
University signed onto the WRC,
which is an organization that
monitors working conditions in
international factories. Ever since
then, problems have arisen re
garding the recent pledge to mem
bership, including Nike CEO Phil
Knight’s decision to pull his per
sonal contributions from the Uni
versity.
Frank said that the students
and faculty hope to work together
to resolve those problems.
“I’m hopeful that we will be able
to make decisions that are consis
tent with our values,” Frank said.
Those values include the pres
ence of a reasoned dialogue and
the conduction of careful research
upon which decisions will be
made.
Discussion during the meeting
was also done with the aim of
“clarifying misinformation and
finding out what the process is go
ing to be like next year,”
Schmaedicksaid.
One piece of misinformation
that was corrected regarded the
cost of membership in the WRC.
Rumors have circulated that
the price tag is $50,000 per year,
which Schmaedick said is simply
not true. In reality, she said the
cost of being a member is much
less: $3,000 a year.
“We have a number of people of
good will who are well-informed
and who are attempting to do the
right thing,” Frank concluded.
