The Office of Diversity Programs located at the District Office welcomes you to this section of the LACCD web site.

Our goal is to promote diversity and equal employment opportunity throughout the Los Angeles Community College District.

We aim to guarantee your education and employment environment is free from discrimination and harassment.

The role of the Office of Diversity Programs and the College Compliance Offices is to develop and implement policies and procedures that follow Federal and State laws. Our charter also includes discrimination and sexual harassment issues, oversight of federal compliance -- including monitoring recruitment, retention and promotion of diversity.

We investigate and recommend resolutions of discrimination complaints; we serve as a resource to you on relevant issues; we provide assistance for you if you have a disability related issue; and we coordinate employee support programs and faculty training workshops.

We promote diversity through programs such as Project MATCH a cooperative district wide project introduced to promote quality instruction and diversity in community college teaching. We are supporting an environment that reflects, complements and meets the needs of the diverse student population we currently enjoy at our colleges.

We look forward to helping you.

Director
