ROTEL Project Statement

ROTEL’s Open Textbook Coordinating Council (OTCC) is committed to equity and inclusion. We encourage proposals from members of groups with historical and/or current barriers to equity, including by not limited to:

• First Nations and all other Indigenous Peoples
• Members of groups that commonly experience discrimination due to race, ancestry, color, religion and/or spiritual beliefs, or place of origin
• Persons who identify as women
• Persons of marginalized sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions

We recognize that many of these identities intersect, and therefore equity, diversity and inclusion can be complex. We value the contributions that each person brings and are committed to full and equal participation for all in our community.
