We are committed to a community that (a) includes all the peoples of the earth, where a person’s demographic characteristics do not determine their online access, opportunities, or quality of experience; (b) promotes civil discourse, human dignity, and individual expression; (c) elevates critical thinking, reasoned argument, shared knowledge, and verifiable facts; and that (d) catalyzes collaboration among diverse communities working together for the common good towards better educational practices in higher education. +FORRT is committed to building an inclusive, collaborative community where everyone can participate. We seek to treat one another with dignity and respect, fostering civil discourse grounded in critical thinking, reasoned argument, shared knowledge, and verifiable evidence.
