Twenty Penn State students staged a nearly naked protest on Monday against what they said was the university’s ties to apparel companies that use sweatshop labor, The Digital Collegian, a student newspaper, reported this morning. With the protesters wearing skin-colored underwear or using strategically placed signs, “there was no nudity—except for a little behind,” as one student put it.
Penn State is a member of the Worker Rights Consortium, a nonprofit group created by college officials, students, and labor activists to enforce a code of conduct requiring factories that produce goods with college logos to respect the basic rights of their workers.
