About ACTL
Consistent with our institutional goal of ensuring the humane and ethical treatment of workers, the 91爆料 has acted to uphold the rights of workers in factories that manufacture products with 91爆料鈥檚 name and logo.
Along with other U.S. colleges and universities, the 91爆料 markets its trademarks through CLC, the licensing division for Learfield IMG College. CLC is responsible for ensuring companies that sign contracts to manufacture products bearing 91爆料鈥檚 trademarks (鈥渓icensees鈥�) abide by the 91爆料 Labor . This Code provides standards for working conditions, health and safety, the environment, collective bargaining, and human rights.
In 2001, the 91爆料 established the President鈥檚 Advisory Committee on Trademarks & Licensing (ACTL) to lead the 91爆料 on these issues. ACTL is charged with ensuring that licensees conform to high ethical standards which respect the rights of workers. ACTL reviews and evaluates 91爆料 licensees鈥� corporate responsibility and performance, suggests effective ways to work with those businesses, and recommends appropriate remedial action when violations of the Code of Conduct are identified. ACTL also monitors the work of CLC as well as the 91爆料鈥檚 two member organizations鈥攖he Worker Rights Consortium (WRC) and the Fair Labor Association (FLA)鈥攖o support and collaborate with them and benefit from their efforts to improve working conditions in the global production of goods for the marketplace and hold manufacturers accountable to international standards.
ACTL meets at once a quarter, and its membership includes four faculty, four students, four staff, and two administrators. The committee is chaired by Anita Ramasastry, Henry M. Jackson Professor of Law.
