The 2022 Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Handbook is a tool to advance the cultural transformation of the largest system of public higher education and one of the largest employers in California. The updated handbook is the cumulative effort of decades of courageous and intentional leadership to ensure equitable student educational opportunity and success. This handbook affirms the role of EEO in student success and the shared institutional responsibility of every member of a community college district and campus, to uphold EEO policies, procedures and practices. Increasing diversity in faculty, staff, and administrators centers around the hiring process. Each phase of the hiring process has opportunities to inject practices that affect the diversity outcomes of new employees. The EEO/Diversity practices are categorized in three areas: Pre-Hiring, Hiring and Post-Hiring.
