DEI Charge and Composition

(Council reports to DEC/Chancellors Cabinet under Districtwide Operations)

 Charge

 The charge of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Council is to build a culture of inclusivity and promote a global consciousness in the college district and community. Our objective is to provide a welcoming environment that fosters cultural competence, equity and respect for all employees and students.

 The council is responsible for assessing progress and disseminating information regarding diversity and equity; recommending meaningful strategies for improvement; overseeing the implementation of the charge districtwide; and ensuring compliance with relevant laws and regulations.

 The council is also responsible for writing plans in accordance with Title 5 or other federal and state regulations and the District’s Commitment to Diversity. The council also serves as the District’s EEOC Advisory Committee.

 The council promotes acceptance of all people, including those of diverse age, ancestry, color, disability, ethnicity, perspective, national origin, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, education, socioeconomic, and employment status.

 The goal of the council is to create an inclusive environment in the Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District and to honor the importance of differences in others.
