University of Wisconsin-Madison Chancellor Biddy Martin has decided to give Nike four months to clear up problems of reported workersâ?? rights abuses at two factories that the sports apparel giant subcontracts with in Honduras.
If the situation isnâ??t remedied, the university could end its apparel contract with Nike — a deal which brings the university nearly $50,000 per year.
Martin said Monday that she hopes to build a coalition of interested schools from the Big Ten Conference and other peer institutions to put pressure on Nike.
