CAMARILLO, Calif. - Californer -- Ventura County Community College District board of trustees fully supports and is dedicated to promoting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) for its approximately 31,000 students, nearly 1,900 employees and the community. In support of the diverse population of students at Moorpark, Oxnard and Ventura colleges, and the community, the board adopted a resolution Affirming the District's Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at its April meeting.
The resolution is in tandem with the District's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Week and the California Community Colleges' Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Awareness Month.
"VCCCD is a welcoming and inclusive equity-minded, anti-racist learning environment where diverse students are supported to pursue and attain student success," said Trustee Gabriela Torres. "Our mission is to foster social justice and an inclusive, equity-minded learning environment where all students receive support to achieve academic success and attain the necessary skills to find meaningful work that offers them a living wage."

The District has a diverse student population that mirrors California's residents. It counts nearly 54% as Latinx, 30.23% as White, 6.5% as Asian, 1.63% as Black, 0.23% as Pacific Islander, 0.21% as Native American, 4.20% as two or more Races and 3.46% as Unreported. In the state, the community college system provides many students a means for upward mobility and a better life, particularly those who are the first in their families to pursue higher education.
"The board takes pride in approving this resolution, which meets the myriad needs of our diverse faculty, staff and student body," said Chancellor Greg Gillespie.
The resolution covers various forms of diversity, including race, ethnicity, language, culture, nationality, social-economic class, age, physical ability, religious beliefs, gender and sexual orientation.
The District will take numerous steps to advance diversity, equity and inclusion at its colleges related to board policies, employment, professional development, campus culture and curriculum. These actions include:
