Equal Employment Opportunity

Equal Employment Opportunity Policy Statement

The District believes that our commitment and accountability to diversity, equity, and belonging enriches the District’s mission and supports students in achieving their educational goals. Equal employment opportunity includes not only a process for equal opportunity in hiring, but also practices and processes that create inclusive, respectful work environments. As such, the District is committed to efforts, which achieve a workforce that is welcoming to all individuals. An inclusive educational and employment environment fosters cooperation, collaboration, acceptance, democracy and free expression of ideas.

The District is committed to employing qualified administrators, faculty, and staff members who are dedicated to student success and who recognize that diversity in the academic environment fosters cultural awareness, promotes mutual understanding and respect, and provides suitable role models for all students.

The Board is committed to hiring and staff development processes that support the goals of equal opportunity as well as diversity, equity, and inclusion; providing equal consideration for all qualified candidates; and creating an anti-racist academic and employment environment. The District’s policies ensure that all qualified applicants and employees have full and equal access to employment opportunities and are not subjected to discrimination in any District program or activity on the basis of national origin, immigration status, religion, age, family and medical care leave, gender, gender identity, gender expression, race or ethnicity, color, medical condition, genetic information, ancestry, sexual orientation, marital status, physical or mental disability, sex (which includes pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding and medical conditions related to pregnancy, childbirth), military and veteran status, or on the basis of these perceived characteristics, or based on association with a person or group with one or more of these actual or perceived characteristics.

The District Equal Employment Opportunity Plan is also located under the Office of the President’s website and will be maintained to ensure the implementation of equal employment opportunity principles that conform to current and evolving federal and state laws and Board Policy.
