University of Wisconsin-Madison Chancellor Rebecca Blank announced Friday the university will require all UW apparel licensees to sign onto an agreement that ensures Bangladeshi garment factory workers’ safety and well-being, according to a press release.
Correction 3/14/2014: A previous version of this story stated that Chancellor Rebecca Blank said the university was discussing a tuition hike for out-of-state students, which would be accompanied by more financial assistance. However, in the chat, Blank was referencing the difference between University of Michigan’s out-of-state tuition and UW-Madison’s. Blank did not say she wanted to raise or was discussing raising UW-Madison’s out-of-state tuition. We regret the error.
