The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign asked its licensees, through the CLC, to disclose the location of all factories where merchandise bearing the University's name, symbols and insignia are manufactured. The letter from the CLC on behalf of the University appears below. The list of factory locations is accessible as a large Microsoft Excel file.
Many institutions view public disclosure of factory sites as an essential part of the process.
Several licensed manufacturers have already either publicly released or stated their intention to publicly release factory site locations. This Notice presently affects Licensees currently licensed with the CLC Member Universities referenced below. However, CLC is providing this Notice to all Licensees, including those not licensed with the above-referenced institutions, in recognition that other Member Universities will soon follow suit with similar public disclosure requirements. Such information shall be updated upon change of any factory site location. The Member University reserves the right to disclose this information to third parties, without restriction as to its further distribution.
