President Simpson,

As a member of the University at Buffalo community, I ____________________, ask that you take the following actions to ensure that apparel bearing the University at Buffalo’s name is made under working conditions which respect basic human rights;

1. Make the University at Buffalo a member of the Designated Suppliers Program working group, joining over forty other universities across the nation in working towards implementing the Designated Suppliers Program which would ensure licensees of the University at Buffalo produce University apparel in factories that meet the minimum standards set out in the Program including providing a living wage and the right to organize.

2. Implement the full Designated Suppliers Program when the working group does, making a long-term commitment to licensing only sweat-free apparel for the University at Buffalo .
