This week, students staged sit-ins at Appalachian State University, The University of Montana and Penn State, all demanding their university sign on the Designated Supplier Program (DSP).  The sit-ins all ended with arrests, the largest at Penn State where 31 students were arrested.  A fourth sit-in has started today at the University of North Carolina.  When schools adopt the DSP, a program of the Workers Right Consortium and United Students against Sweatshops, they commit to only working with suppliers who meet a set of workplace standards.  None of the sit-ins have so far produced results for the students, who have been working on the campaign for several years on all of the campuses.
