BOONE (AP) — Six students were arrested at Appalachian State University, ending a sit-in protest about working conditions in factories where school-licensed clothing is made.
The Winston-Salem Journal reported that the students were charged Friday with disorderly conduct and trespassing. All posted their bail.
The sit-in began Wednesday morning in the school's administration building. It involved members of United Students Against Sweatshops, which wants Appalachian State to join the Designated Suppliers Program.

please leave some info about how the dnhc community can support your efforts...in many ways, this is an issue that has been ignored by the mainstream media for years.
of particular importance is the increasing corporatization of the university and academia itself...when a university seeks and gets corporate sponsorship for buildings, lecture halls, academic research, etc., it would seem obvious that the university chancellor would do everything in his power to make sure that those corporate sponsors are not offended...academia is now more dependent on corporate support than ever...to all of our detriment.
