Publisher’s Statement and Accessibility

Publisher’s Statement

Open Oregon Educational Resources promotes textbook affordability for community college and university students, and facilitates widespread adoption of open, low-cost, high-quality materials. Our vision is that high quality, low-cost learning materials will be thoughtfully integrated into teaching and learning in Oregon’s higher ed. One way we support this vision is by providing tools and resources to make equity, diversity, and inclusion primary considerations when faculty adopt course materials; therefore we are actively committed to increasing the accessibility and usability of the textbooks we produce.
