Mortimer Wortman, a 22-year-old New Jersey Rutgers New Brunswick student, has been missing since November 21st. An exceptional senior at Rutgers, Mortimer is not just a student; he is a beloved member of our community, a shining star who brings people together with his warmth and respect for others. Mortimer's love for nature and his commitment to creating a safe and welcoming environment for all have left a significant impact on everyone who knows him. Today, our friend needs us, and we must rise in support.

It has been over a week since Mortimer disappeared, and while his family and friends tirelessly search for him, there is one noticeable absence in their efforts: Rutgers University's response. The institution's silence for over a week has been deafening and heartbreaking, leaving the student body disappointed and frustrated. This petition calls for Rutgers to take immediate and decisive action in addressing Mortimer's disappearance, leveraging its platform and resources to spread awareness and assist in the search efforts.

We, the students, faculty, and community members, implore Rutgers University to actively participate in the resolution of this crisis. Mortimer is a vital part of our community, and his safety and whereabouts should be of utmost concern to the institution. By amplifying the message about Mortimer's disappearance and coordinating with law enforcement and search teams, Rutgers can make a significant difference in bringing him home safely and quickly. Rutgers needs to show the student body that it cares for all students' welfare, not just when they can financially benefit.

Rutgers' inaction reflects a missed opportunity to embody the values that the institution stands for — community support, leadership, and responsibility. We need to show that Mortimer's life and well-being matter. Let's utilize Rutgers' vast resources, social media channels, and community connections to ensure that Mortimer's story reaches as many people as possible.

Please sign this petition to demonstrate our collective demand for Rutgers University to break its silence and take an effective, proactive role in spreading awareness and finding Mortimer Wortman. Our voices together can urge them to act swiftly and decisively for the good of Mortimer and his family, reinforcing the sense of community and care we hold dear. Every signature counts.
