On Campus: Ward leans toward giving Adidas notice that it is in breach of contract

Interim UW-Madison Chancellor David Ward said he is inclined to give notice to Adidas that it violated a labor code of conduct, which could lead to UW-Madison terminating its roughly $2.5 million annual contract with the company. But Ward wrote in a letter to UW-Madison?s Labor Licensing Policy Committee that he first wants to discuss the matter with the president of the UW Board of Regents, lawyers and other leaders in the university community. He promised to give the committee, made up of students, faculty and staff, an update next week.
