University News, April 25, 2007 SAN MARCOS -- When Lizet Diaz, criminal justice junior, puts on her Bobcat T-shirt in the morning, she does not consider the possibility the garment may have been manufactured in a sweatshop. When Chris Crummel, sound recording technology junior, pulls on his Bobcat headgear, he assumes only his sweat has gone into the maroon cap.  A survey conducted by The University Star of Texas State apparel in the bookstore showed much of the clothing was manufactured in Asian and South American countries including Bangladesh, Brazil, China, Guatemala and Vietnam. Texas State does not have the resources necessary to find information on vendor backgrounds to prevent purchasing from sweatshops, said Jacqueline Slaughter, University Bookstore manager.  Larger American universities are members of the Fair Labor Association and the Worker Rights Consortium, and they screen out vendors and manufacturers that use unfair labor practices. The only Texas schools affiliated with either organization are the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston.
