the study of human rights, and it
has not begun any formal plan
ning work.
One of the students heavily in
volved during the protests was
Chad Sullivan. Graduating with a
double major in history and mu
sic, Sullivan said as he leaves the
University, he is a little discour
aged at how the issue ended, but
he added that he does not expect
it to die completely.
( ( What I concluded after
the study of this issue is...
we need to embed our
concern about human
rights into our curriculum.

“I’m not really optimistic about
anything happening at all,” he
said. “Students need to change or
modify that state policy.”
Sullivan said students need to
work on getting the state board to
include the language that univer
sities can add human rights and
environmental conditions to their
business contracts.
He said he is encouraged by the
recent no-sweat rally that showed
there is still some student interest
and enthusiasm for bringing about
change.
“What has been happening with
the no-sweat zone is really prom
ising,” he said.
If students can’t change the pol
icy, Sullivan suggested they
should look to creating a
statewide code of conduct that the
seven universities of the Oregon
University System can apply to
merchandise contracts.
“That’s really not much too ask,
it’s really not that controversial, and
it’s the best we can do,” he said.
Following his graduation, Sulli
van said he will be traveling to In
donesia to see firsthand the condi
tions that factory workers deal
with. He said he hopes this will
bring back more information for
activists here in Eugene.
“I know in the past some of us
activists have acted like we know
everything, and I know that’s not
the case,” he said.
University Merchandising Di
rector Matt Dyste said that even
without being able to be a member
of labor monitoring organizations,
the University will still be able to
be active in ensuring that compa
nies contracted to produce its
merchandise follow working-con
dition standards.
He said the University will con
tinue to monitor information pro
vided by the WRC and FLA, and it
will work continually with li
censees to ensure they understand
what the University expects.
“Our hope is both of those or
ganizations will begin their moni
toring within the year,” he said.
While the University will no
longer be a member of the moni
toring organizations, Dyste said it
will continue to strive for a “coop
erative” effort with its licensees to
ensure that basic rights are not
abused.
