MOME's stance on media coverage
Date: 2025.02.24
The Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME) is dedicated to upholding the ethical values that define its community, which include recognising and embracing the diversity of its members. The university places great importance on acknowledging human differences, fostering tolerance in matters of religion and belief, and safeguarding the reputation, dignity, and honour of both the institution and its citizens. Furthermore, it is committed to respecting their personal rights and always acting under the assumption that others' behaviour is similarly guided by ethical responsibility.
In light of this, MOME firmly rejects any attempt by the media to exploit events within the university or its community – including students, faculty, staff, or leadership – for political purposes.
