We, the undersigned faculty of Monmouth University, strongly support the LGBTQIA+ community. We recognize our role in ensuring all people feel welcomed and accepted on Monmouth University’s campus. We are dedicated to providing a safe physical and intellectual space for all of our community members.
We recognize the longstanding history of change makers and brave people who have paved the way for the LGBTQIA+ rights and freedoms that exist in our nation and around the world. We know these individuals include people of many races, ethnicities, creeds, and classes, and that their contributions are often overlooked and rendered invisible. We raise them up.
We know there is so much more to be done, and we commit to doing our part. We invite everyone to join us and we will accept invitations to join others’ efforts.
We encourage students to study the complexities of how power, oppression, and equity impact our lives. We note that many courses, such as those offered by the Program in Gender and Intersectionality Studies Minor, are designed to help our community take informed action toward equity.
We encourage everyone to stay connected to the good works of our community partners – including the Intercultural Center, student clubs such as PRIDE (formerly SPECTRUM) and the student Program for Gender and Intersectionality Studies Club. We extend our appreciation to the Counseling and Psychological Services staff for supporting our students and being strong advocates.
We are Professors United for Safe Haven (P.U.S.H.). We will PUSH Back on behalf of our LGBTQIA+ community.
