Value:◦ The Maricopa Community Colleges support a

diverse and inclusive environment where mutual respect and equity are encouraged and valued. One that actively seeks to understand and incorporate views from dissimilar frames of reference. (Diversity Advisory Council April 15, 2005)

Diversity and Inclusion

Governing Board:◦ At a recent Governing Board Study Session, Jerry

Walker presented some proposed revisions of the current Governing Board policies based on input he received from the community.

◦ Notably, the words diversity, inclusiveness, global and globalization were stricken from the document in most places and inclusiveness as a value was removed. 

◦ Three board members spoke strongly about the importance of diversity as did several members of CEC. 

Proposed Change:

Maricopa EEO Policy It is the policy of the MCCCD to:

Recruit, hire, and promote in all job groups, and to ensure that all Human Resources (HR) employment selection and decision practices do not discriminate, nor tolerate discrimination, against any applicant or employee on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disabled, or veteran status.
