I wanted to ask your thoughts on the lawsuit recently filed by an intern working in the fashion industry and if you had any ideas about preventing internships from becoming just unpaid menial labor? I had several internships in college that I thought were hugely educational and useful so the idea of some companies using them to exploit students instead worries me.
