Is there a governing body that bestows the status of Fair Trade University?
There is currently no governing body overseeing Fair Trade Universities in the United States. There is such a body in the United Kingdom, where there are around 60 universities who have declared themselves as Fair Trade Universities (http://peopleandplanet.org). In the U.S., there is an organization called Fair Trade Towns (www.fairtradetownsusa.org) that encourages cities to become Fair Trade Towns. If more universities follow in UW Oshkosh’s footsteps, a Fair Trade University group will likely form in the U.S.
