Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Penn State decided not to participate in the Designated Suppliers Program because it is not actually a Program and the U.S. Justice Department is investigating whether it violates the Fair Trade laws. It has been submitted twice to the U.S. Department of Justice for review.
Penn State has participated with the Knights Apparel initiative to pay fair wages. For a full report on the initiative, see the following Collegian article: http://www.collegian.psu.edu/archive/2010/09/02/psu_supports_workers_rights_efforts_at_knights.aspx
