Though President Likins should follow the advice of the UA Human and Labor Rights Task Force and pull the UA out of the Fair Labor Association, it is fair for him to meet with the human rights group before he officially decides whether or not the UA should leave the FLA.

This June, President Likins finally agreed to one of the Students Against Sweatshops' demands, which is that the University of Arizona join the Workers Rights Consortium. He has yet to make a decision on whether or not to pull the UA out of the FLA, even though the UA Human and Labor Rights Task Force has already recommended that he do so. In true Likins fashion, he is taking his time.

"The task force has apparently made its choice in favor of the WRC, but I have been invited by the chairman to meet with the task force for a deeper exploration of related issues," he said. "I have accepted that invitation, and will defer membership decisions until after that meeting until I have had an opportunity to consider the ramifications of those decisions."
