Abstract:

Wearing apparel displaying college logos is often produced in third-world sweatshops. A Duke-logo baseball cap costs $20, and the university receives $1.50 through licensing. However, production costs only about eight cents in workers' wages. In 1997, some Duke students organized Students Against sweatshops to protest for better working conditions in factories that produce Duke-logo licensed material.
