Underneath the Grawemeyer Hall rotunda, about twenty students sat against the wall, laptops and textbooks on their laps. Neon posters with handwritten slogans like “People over profit” and “Cut the contract” were scattered across the floor.
This was the scene around 2 p.m. on the last day of classes for the semester, and the student group Cards United Against Sweatshops, or CUAS, was on their third day of protesting.
On Monday, April 20 students took to Grawemeyer Hall in protest of U of L’s contract VF Corporation.
CUAS wants U of L to cut its contract with VF Corporation because it is JanSport’s parent company.
