Equal Employment Opportunity

The goal of the Peralta Community College District is to ensure equal opportunity for all qualified employees and applicants for employment.

 

Positive action will be taken to ensure that this non-discrimination policy is followed in all personnel practices, including recruitment, hiring, placement, upgrading, transfer, demotion, and pay practices.

 

Diversity, equity, inclusion, anti-racism, and accessibility (DEIAA) enriches the educational experience through the exchange of different ideas, beliefs, experiences, and perspectives; promotes personal growth because it challenges stereotypes, preconceptions, and bias; encourages critical thinking; and helps people learn to communicate effectively with others of varied backgrounds.

 

Diversity, equity, and inclusion strengthen communities, prepare students to become globally responsible citizens in an increasingly complex, global society, foster mutual respect and teamwork, help build communities whose members are judged by the quality of their character and contributions, and enhance the nation’s and the state’s economic competitiveness because it brings together individuals from varied and different backgrounds and cultures into the workplace.

 

The Peralta Community College District in accordance with applicable federal and state laws and District policy, prohibits discrimination against any student, faculty, staff, person acting on behalf of Peralta Community College District, applicant and general public associated with Peralta Community College District based on race, color, national origin, ethnic group identification, ancestry, religion, creed, sex or gender (including sexual harassment), pregnancy, marital status, medical condition (cancer-related), sexual orientation, age, physical or mental disability, gender, gender identification, gender expression, immigration status (or citizenship status), genetic information, and perceived to be in a protected category or associated with those in protected category and veteran status.
