Half the members of a committee that advises UW- Madison Chancellor John Wiley on labor licensing issues resigned in protest Monday, and the other half may step down pending the outcome of a planned meeting with Wiley.
Members of the university’s Labor Licensing Committee, made up of eight students, professors and academic staff, are upset because they believe their recommendations on sweatshop labor issues are not being taken seriously, said Liana Dalton, a student member of the committee.
