...currently stands, Harvard routinely violates this basic standard. According to figures released from the administration in March 1999, 358 full-time and approximately 650 part-time or "casual" employees were paid less than $10 per hour for their work. Dining hall workers at Harvard Law School currently earn as little as six dollars per hour. Janitors are also among the lowest paid employees of the university, receiving $8.15 to $9.05 per hour. This amounts to $16,300 to $18,100 per year, which is hardly enough to support one person, never mind a family, living in Cambridge. Most of these...

The vastness of empty walls is interrupted by stretches of brick (a comfy building material) and pictures of random groups of house residents (found on walls throughout Mather). These contribute to the friendly atmosphere of the house while covering its empty canvas...

Until now, Harvard has done a combination of both. Only Harvard has had a high-ranking official working nearly full-time on the issue--Allan A. Ryan of the Office of General Counsel. Last spring, on the day of a large rally outside University Hall, Harvard became one of the first schools to promise that its anti-sweatshop policy would require licensees to publicize the locations of their overseas factories. Over the summer, Harvard spearheaded a five-school, $250,000 pilot monitoring program, the first university initiative actually to visit a sweatshop...
