ALT An Update to the Penn Museum’s Human Remains Policy   “Prioritizing human dignity and the wishes of descendant communities are the governing principles behind this essential institution-wide update to the Penn Museum’s Human Remains Policy.  A comprehensive and rigorous basis for ethical stewardship and treatment of human remains, the updated policy applies to care of the collections; teaching and research; exhibition and display; and public access. Confronting our institutional history tied to colonial collection practices requires continuous examination and assessment of our policies. It is our moral, ethical, and social responsibility.” ––Christopher Woods, Williams Director
