The MONTU Herbarium community denounces all forms of racism, harassment, and discrimination. Academic settings have not always been a welcoming space for marginalized groups and scientists of color, and we recognize the ongoing struggles and prejudices those communities still face. Here at MONTU we are committed to creating a welcoming and safe space in which everyone is valued, diversity is celebrated, and any race, gender identity, age, religion, ethnicity, ability, socioeconomic background, and veteran status is accepted.
