To fulfill SCIoI’s research and educational mission, we seek to establish a climate that welcomes and promotes respect for the entire variety of human experience. We welcome people from all backgrounds and we seek to include knowledge and values from many (scientific) cultures. We are committed to work toward a research environment that values individual and group diversity. We engage in activities and programs which further our understanding of individual and group diversity and will develop and communicate policies and promote values that discourage intolerance and discrimination.
