It agrees that employee diversity in the academic environment fosters cultural awareness, mutual understanding, harmony and respect, and suitable role models for all students. The Board therefore commits itself to promote the total realization of equal employment through a continuing equal employment opportunity program. The President/Superintendent shall develop, for review and adoption by the Board, and implement a plan for equal employment opportunity that complies with the Education Code and Title 5 requirements as from time to time modified or clarified by judicial interpretation.
