More importantly, we encourage the administration, in conjunction with Students for a Sweat-Free Campus, to adopt a stringent code of conduct to prevent sweatshop conditions. Shai M. Sachs '01, an organizer of the rally, says, "What we're hoping to get across is that sweatshop labor is a very real, very shameful practice, and that we need a strong code of conduct to combat...
