UW-Madison Chancellor John Wiley is sending a campus official to El Salvador to investigate whether Adidas has violated its contract with the school, over the way it treats factory workers.
Adidas provides more than 20 UW sports teams with Adidas apparel, and pays UW more than $300,000 a year. The total annual value of the deal to the UW is $1.2 million.
UW officials told 27 News, Wiley is even prepared to pull the plug on the exclusive contract, although student activists believe Wiley should be doing more.
