Hiring Practices
EEO Plan Updated Regularly:
Employee demographic is slightly more diverse than the community served by the college and also reflects the student body
EEO Data Shows:
Rather than eliminating diversity through the screening and interviewing process, the college is now enriching for diversity through the hiring process. The result? Increased diversity in those hired!
Of the 32 faculty hired in the last two years, 47% are ethnically diverse
Fall 2016, the district engaged faculty, in partnership with human resources and administrators, in making improvements to the recruitment and selection process with a strong, equity-minded focus.
Changes were made to:
recruitment materials
application materials related to diversity
the selection process
Proposed changes to the travel reimbursement procedures for applicants
