UVM bookstore adds Bernie Sanders shirts
In response to the frenzy on campus for presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, the UVM bookstore has started selling apparel that allows students to show off their Bernie fever.
Although Sanders has a lot of support here, Im sure there are plenty of students who disagree with his initiative, so I could see it being controversial if it seems like UVM is endorsing a specific candidate, Roche said.
However, the Sanders T-shirt has no affiliation with the candidates campaign, nor is UVM supporting Sanders and his campaign in any way, Andrews said.
All money made goes to the same place all other apparel sold in the bookstore goes, except for 15 percent which is donated to Vermont-based organizations supporting children, families and veterans, Andrews said.
Although these charities are ones that Sanders has endorsed in the past, they arent connected to the campaign, so they will in no way be benefiting from it, he said.
