Purpose and Charge

The purpose of the Licensing Advisory Committee (LAC) is to make policy recommendations to the Chancellor regarding the manufacture of products bearing the names, symbols and insignia of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The Chancellor may also involve the LAC in the implementation of such policy, as appropriate. The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is committed to not having our name on collegiate apparel or other merchandise that is produced by workers in factories where "sweatshop" working conditions exist.

The LAC is charged with primary responsibility within the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for developing policy recommendations regarding relations with the Collegiate Licensing Company and individual licensees, considering the campus role relative to the issue of improving working conditions in factories where collegiate merchandise is manufactured, and informing the campus community about issues and developments in this area. The committee also will provide advice concerning the campus' association with national/international groups such as the Worker Rights Consortium, and the Fair Labor Association.
