Consistent with our mission and values, as a multi-disciplinary research center that seeks to advance a world of belonging without othering, the Othering & Belonging Institute (OBI) conducts research, develops narrative strategy, and supports policies and interventions that advance this vision. Our faculty, staff and OBI community members publish public and discretionary statements as an exercise of academic freedom and free speech to support and shape research that positively impacts society, and will conform to the Board of Regents’ Policy 4408. Statements representing OBI, and not individuals, will be clearly described as so.
