Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Our goal is to promote an educational environment and workplace that is free of all forms of discrimination based on protected classes, sexual harassment, gender-based harassment, sexual violence, and retaliation. The College will not tolerate any such behaviors, all of which are prohibited by both law and the college’s policy on Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity & Diversity policy (PAA). We will keep our campuses and surrounding communities safe by responding effectively and immediately if an incident occurs.
