of that item.
Mr. O’Neil inquired whether the Director of Research and Planning position will be

Effectiveness job description to incorporate duties of the Director of Research and
Planning. The target date for completion is December 2013.

VI. ITEMS FROM INSTITUTIONAL COMMITTEES
District Committee on Safety
Mr. Moore stated that the committee researched several locking devices for classroom lock-
down procedures, came to a conclusion that an interior keyway was the best method, and
had planned to forward a recommendation to the Coordinating Committee. However, in
light of recent active shooter incidents including the June 7 shooting at Santa Monica
College, the Executive Council directed Facilities staff to begin retrofitting classroom doors
during summer. The retrofit is scheduled to be completed by Monday, September 30 and
will enable faculty to lock down classrooms without opening the door to a hallway where an
active shooter may be present. Division deans have been advised of the lock-down
procedures and faculty training will be scheduled if deemed necessary. The doors will be
checked for compliance during the October 17 emergency evacuation drill.
Dr. Lacy thanked Mr. Moore and his staff for their efficient work in facilitating the retrofit
as campus safety is an issue of great concern.
College Equal Employment Opportunity Advisory Committee
Dr. Gularte distributed the college’s draft Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Plan. She
stated that the committee members and other college staff attended a training workshop in
February to discuss equal employment opportunity and best practices, and the Model EEO
Plan developed by the Chancellor’s Office. The committee completed a rough draft of the
college’s EEO Plan in June, and it was reviewed by an attorney who is working with the
Chancellor’s Office to ensure compliance with current and proposed Title 5 language. The
EEOAC reviewed proposed revisions at its August 20 meeting and the draft plan will be
shared with the campus this week. The final draft will be presented to the Board of Trustees
for approval at its September 18 meeting.
Dr. Lacy requested the Coordinating Committee members to thoroughly review the draft
plan and forward questions to Dr. Gularte.
VII. ITEMS FROM FACULTY SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES None

accompanying the request conforms to the recommended amount for this naming

unanimous.

Dr. Lacy stated that faculty, management, and classified/confidential staff discussed revising
the college’s mission statement to reflect Cerritos College’s broad educational purposes,
intended student population, and commitment to student learning at the May 10, 2013
Strategic Planning Retreat. A draft statement was developed and shared with the campus
community via the May 16 President’s Message. The Office of Academic Affairs also
communicated the draft mission statement with the campus via email communication and
requested feedback, leading to a minor revision.
The proposed revised statement will be reviewed and discussed by the ASCC Cabinet on
August 26, Faculty Senate on August 27, and the College Committee on Planning and
Budget on September 5 to ensure all constituencies have an opportunity to provide input.
The Coordinating Committee will review feedback on September 9 and forward a
recommendation to the Board of Trustees.
Cerritos College Logo and Branding
The President’s Office received a request for the College Coordinating Committee to review
the logo used on college literature. This topic was previously discussed on August 30, 2010
and it was determined that when it is time to update the logo, a transparent approval process
will be necessary to ensure open communication, buy-in, and input from all constituencies.
Ms. Laughon suggested conducting a campuswide survey requesting feedback about the
current logo and suggestions for a new logo. Mr. Ramirez stated that students would be
interested in participating in the survey as well.
Dr. Schilling stated that she requested employee input regarding the college’s slogan
“Building Futures Through Learning” during summer and received approximately 50
responses; the students will be asked to provide input this semester. Dr. Lacy stated that
review of the college’s logo and slogan will continue this year and approved revisions will
become effective beginning 2014-15.

or nearly equivalent to the value of the facility or area to be named for
61
him/her in terms of institutional advancement.
62
Achieved such unique distinction as to warrant recognition.
63
2. As a general rule, if the request is to honor a living person, the individual may not
64
be an employee or trustee at the time of consideration. Individuals will not be
65
considered for this honor until at least three years following the individual’s
66
separation from the District. Under extraordinary circumstances, this
67
requirement may be waived.
68
3. If the request is to honor a deceased person, the recommendation should be
69
made free from emotion and transitory pressure; therefore, no request shall be
70
considered until the individual has been deceased at least one year.
71
4. An appropriate relationship between the use of the facility or its function and the
72
person for whom it will be named should exist.
73
Naming a building, structure, classroom, lab, facility or area of recognition for a
74
significant gift to the District
75
1. Facilities may be named for a benefactor or an individual nominated by a
76
benefactor when the benefactor’s contributions make possible significant
77
additions to District facilities or operations.
78
2. Such facilities will not be named in return for deferred gifts unless the gifts are
79
part of an irrevocable trust. Such facilities will not be named for persons making
80

gifts of property (real or personal) until the gift is converted to liquid assets.
81
Under extraordinary circumstances, this requirement may be waived.
82
3. The significance and amount of the proposed gift shall be taken into
83
consideration as either or both relate to the realization, completion, or
84
enhancement of a facility or property.
85
4. A District facility may be named for individuals or organizations responsible for a
86
“substantial gift” benefiting the college. The term “substantial gift” in this context
87
is deliberately not defined by arbitrary standards or by a specific dollar amount.
88
Its interpretation is meant to be flexible so that each situation may be judged on
89
its own merits and may take into account significant contributions or personal
90
services as well as monetary or in-kind gifts. It is expected that each naming
91
opportunity will recognize the donor according to the level of gift and size of
92
facility.
93
5. The donor gift shall be in an amount which will either fund the total cost of the
94
facility to be named or provide the funding for the portion of the total cost which
95
would not have been available from any other source (such as federal or state
96
loans or appropriations, student fees, bond issues, etc.), with the latter to
97
constitute a significant portion of the total cost of the facility to be named.
98
Naming a structure, classroom, lab, facility or area for a person(s), groups, or
99
other purposes when neither gift nor service is involved
100
Names of facilities or areas should lend prestige to the District and to staff, students,
101
and the community. The credentials, character, and reputation of each individual,
102
organization, or corporation for the naming being considered shall be carefully
103
scrutinized and evaluated. Proposals to name a District facility for other purposes such
104
as its function shall adhere to the guidelines specified within this procedure.
105
Nominations submitted for consideration must be accompanied by sufficient rationale
106
and supporting documentation.
107
Signage
108
1. Buildings to be named should normally bear the last name of the person and the
109
building name, e.g., “The Doe Memorial Library,” in a typeface and style
110
consistent with campus signage. The lettering of the nameplate shall be
111
reviewed by the Vice President of Business Services and
112
President/Superintendent and submitted for consideration of approval to the
113
Board of Trustees.
114
2. A plaque of appropriate materials and design, permanently affixed to the outside

124
benches, and gardens may also be identified with a plaque or acknowledgement

and easily maintained.
128
Duration of Naming Recognition

permanent or for a defined period of time. The recommendation to the Board shall
131
include the recommended duration of the recognition.
132
Transferability of Naming Recognition
133
Naming of a designated piece of District property shall not survive the named property’s
134
existence. Should the named property be removed or redesigned for another use the
135
naming recognition shall not automatically be assigned to its replacement or any other
136
like property without the express authorization of the Board of Trustees. A
137
recommendation for the transfer of the naming rights may be presented to the Board of

PREPARED BY:
Mark B. Logan
Director of Purchasing
SUBJECT: Consideration of Approval of Bid No. 13P004, Fire Alarm Group 5
ACTION
It is recommended that the Board of Trustees approve the award of contract for Bid No. 13P004, Fire Alarm
Group 5 project to RDM Electric Co., Inc. as the lowest responsive, responsible bidder in the amount of
$1,105,000, which equals the Total Base Bid Amount.
Board approval is contingent upon resolution of any bid protests during the applicable protest time period.
Board approval is also contingent upon the contractor providing acceptable insurance and bonding as
required in the Bid and Contract Documents.
FISCAL IMPACT
The amount of the lowest responsive, responsible bid for the Total Base Bid Amount is $1,105,000. Funding
for this project will be allocated from the GO Bond.
REPORT SUMMARY
On May 30, 2013 and June 6, 2013 the District advertised the release of Bid No. 12P008 for the Fire Alarm
Group 5 project. The project included, but was not limited to, removing and replacing the existing fire alarm
systems at the Science/Math Complex, Burnight Center, Classroom Building, Public Affairs Building, and
Community Education Buildings, and installing a new fire alarm/mass notification system. The project work
also included testing and tie-in to the existing fiber line. The bid had a bid due date of June 27, 2013. The
project was bid using a traditional single-prime/general contractor project delivery method requiring a pre-
qualified contractor from the District’s pre-qualified contractor’s list with Class B or Class C-10 contractor’s
licenses to bid on the project.
Four contractors attended the mandatory conference meeting and job walk on June 13, 2013. Upon further
consideration and determination that the potential existed of only receiving one or two bids, the District
cancelled the bid with the intent to re-bid the project to both increase outreach efforts and add some
clarification to the project specifications.
On July 22, 2013 and July 29, 2013 the District advertised and released Bid No. 13P004 for the Fire Alarm
Group 5 project, which was a re-bid of the above-referenced project. The bid specifications were further
clarified and incorporated the request for information (RFI) received from the previous bidding of the project.
Back to Board Agenda
The project had an estimated construction cost of $1,200,000. This re-bid project again utilized a traditional
single-prime/general contractor project delivery method requiring a pre-qualified contractor from the District’s
pre-qualified contractor’s list with Class B or Class C-10 contractor’s licenses to bid on the project.
Attendance at either of the pre-bid conference meetings and job walks scheduled on August 2, 2013 and
August 9, 2013 was mandatory. A total of 15 contractors attended the mandatory pre-bid conference and job
walk meetings 8 contractors on August 2, 2013 and 7 contractors on August 9, 2013. Three contractors
submitted bids for the project by the Bid Due Date of August 20, 2013. Recommendation of award of contract
was predicated on the lowest responsive, responsible bidder for the Total Base Bid Amount as stipulated in
the Bid and Contract Documents. A summary of the Bid Opening Results are attached hereto.
Upon completion of the District’s due diligence review, RDM Electric Co., Inc. is the lowest responsive and
responsible bidder for this project work, and acceptance of the bid is in the best interest of the District.

Noorali Delawalla
Director of Fiscal Services
SUBJECT: Consideration of Approval of the 2013-14 Adopted Budget
ACTION
It is recommended that the Board of Trustees approve the proposed 2013-14 Adopted Budget.
FISCAL IMPACT
As presented.
REPORT SUMMARY
The College is required to have its 2013-14 annual budget adopted by the Board of Trustees and submitted
to the Chancellor’s Office by September 18 and to the Los Angeles County Office of Education after adoption.
This budget provides a snapshot-in-time view of the District’s projected revenues and expenditures. These
financial projections are based upon the best and most current information available from both internal and
external sources including the Chancellor’s Office Budget Workshop that was held on August 6, 2013. Budget
revisions are regularly presented to the Board of Trustees throughout the year as new information becomes
available.
Key components of the unrestricted general fund include: 1.57% Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA); 1.63%
workload restoration; and, .74% deficit coefficient. Combined, these items equate to $2,307,274 in additional
revenue over the previous year. These additional revenues provide for a balanced budget with a nominal
surplus. Approximately $1,200,000 of these increased revenues will fund an additional 300 planned for
sections.
It is important to note that any future revenue shortfalls or expenditure increases will impact the budget in
some way.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS
The notice of public hearing on the proposed 2013-14 adopted budget was advertised in the Long Beach
Press Telegram newspaper on September 4, 2013.

REPORT SUMMARY
All California Community Colleges are required to complete an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Plan
under California law. Guidelines for this plan are set forth by the State Chancellor’s Office and Board Policy
3420, Equal Employment Opportunity. The Plan guides the District’s overall diversity efforts, meets the
District’s obligations with respect to federal reporting requirements, and meeting accreditation standards.
The Plan establishes procedures for a working and learning environment that promotes diversity, inclusion,
and equal employment opportunities. The Plan reflects the District’s commitment to hire and retain faculty
and staff who are sensitive to and knowledgeable about the continually changing and diverse student body
and community that it serves. The Plan affirms that a diverse and inclusive workplace is fundamental to
maintaining a robust academic environment and fulfilling the District’s mission to prepare students for
success in a global society.
The EEO Plan was reviewed and revised by the College Equal Employment Opportunity Advisory
Committee, a shared governance committee comprised of broad representation of the college’s governance
groups, as well as the College Coordinating Committee. In addition, legal counsel reviewed the Plan to
ensure compliance with legal requirements and State Chancellor mandates.
Back to Board Agenda
The updated Plan brings the District’s compliance into conformity with recent developments in EEO law and
best practices, providing a strong framework for future action, reporting, and compliance. As required by the
California Code of Regulations, the Plan contains 17 components of legal compliance including: Introduction,
Definitions, Policy Statement, Delegation of Responsibilities, Advisory Committee, Complaints, Notifications,
Training and Screening of Selection Committees, Annual Written Notice, Analysis of District Workforce and
Applicant Pool, Analysis of Underrepresentation, Methods to Address Underrepresentation, Additional Steps
to Remedy Significant Underrepresentation, Other Measures Necessary to Further Equal Employment
Opportunity, Goals for Hiring Persons with Disabilities, Graduate Assumption of Loans Programs for
Education, Progress in Achieving Full-Time to Part-Time Faculty Ratio.
The EEO Plan exemplifies the District’s commitment to equal employment opportunity for all people
regardless of ethnic group identification, race, color, national origin, religion, age, sex, physical disability,
mental disability, ancestry, sexual orientation, or on the basis of these perceived characteristics, or based on
association with a person or group with one or more of these actual or perceived characteristics.
Resolution 13-20 affirms the District’s commitment to Equal Employment Opportunity and formally adopts
the Plan.

II. Definitions
California Code of Regulations, Title 5, Section 53001
1) Adverse Impact: "Adverse impact" means that a statistical measure (such as those outlined in
the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's "Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection
Procedures") is applied to the effects of a selection procedure and demonstrates a
disproportionate negative impact on any group protected from discrimination pursuant to
Government Code section 12940. A disparity identified in a given selection process will not be
considered to constitute adverse impact if the numbers involved are too small to permit a
meaningful comparison.
2) Business Necessity: “Business necessity” means circumstances that justify an exception to
the requirements of section 53012(b)(1) because compliance with that section would result in
substantial additional financial cost to the District or pose a significant threat to human life or
safety. Business necessity requires greater financial cost than mere business convenience.
Business necessity does not exist where there is an alternative that will serve business needs
equally well.
3) Diversity: “Diversity” means a condition of broad inclusion in an employment environment
that offers equal employment opportunity for all persons. It requires both the presence, and
the respectful treatment, of individuals from a wide range of ethnic, racial, age, national origin,
religious, gender, sexual orientation, disability and socio-economic backgrounds. Diverse
workplaces include qualified individuals from groups that have been historically excluded from
that workplace.
4) Equal Employment Opportunity: "Equal employment opportunity" means that all qualified
individuals have a full and fair opportunity to compete for hiring and promotion and to enjoy
the benefits of employment with the district. Equal employment opportunity should exist at all
levels in the seven job categories per Title 5, which include executive/administrative/
managerial, faculty and other instructional staff, professional nonfaculty, secretarial/clerical,
technical and paraprofessional, skilled crafts, and service and maintenance. Equal employment
opportunity also involves:
(a) identifying and eliminating barriers to employment that are not job related; and
(b) creating an environment which fosters cooperation, acceptance, democracy, and
free expression of ideas and is welcoming to men and women, persons with
disabilities, and individuals from all ethnic and other groups protected from
discrimination pursuant to Government Code section 12940.

5) Equal Employment Opportunity Plan: An "equal employment opportunity plan" is a written
document in which a district's work force is analyzed and specific plans and procedures are set
forth for ensuring equal employment opportunity.
6) Equal Employment Opportunity Programs: "Equal employment opportunity programs"
means all the various methods by which equal employment opportunity is ensured. Such
methods include, but are not limited to, using nondiscriminatory employment practices, and
actively recruiting, monitoring and taking additional steps consistent with Title 5 regulations
and this Plan.
7) a) Ethnic Minorities: “Ethnic minorities” means American Indians or Alaskan Natives
(Native Americans), Asians, Pacific Islanders, Blacks/African-Americans, and
Hispanics/Latinos.
b) Ethnic Group Identification: “Ethnic group identification” means an individual’s
identification in one or more of the ethnic groups reported to the Chancellor pursuant
to Title 5, Section 53004. These groups shall be more specifically defined by the
Chancellor consistent with state and federal law.
8) Goals for Persons with Disabilities: “Goals for persons with disabilities” means a statement
that the District will strive to attract and hire qualified persons with disabilities, consistent with
its commitment to promoting equal employment opportunity and diversity at all levels of the
workforce. To the extent Title 5 sets forth specific obligations to foster the representation of
qualified disabled individuals in the workplace, “goals for person with disabilities” also means a
statement in compliance with those obligations. The term “goalsdoes not refer to “quotas” or
rigid proportions.
9) In-House or Promotional Only Hiring: "In-house or promotional only" hiring means that only
existing District regular employees are allowed to apply for a position.
10) Monitored Group: Monitored Group” means those groups identified in Title 5, Section
53004(b) for which monitoring and reporting is required pursuant to Title 5, Section 53004(a).
11) Person with a Disability: "Person with a disability" means any person who: (1) has a physical
or mental impairment as defined in Government Code section 12926 which limits one or more
of such person's major life activities, (2) has a record of such an impairment, or (3) is regarded
as having such an impairment. A person with a disability is "limited" if the condition makes the
achievement of the major life activity difficult.
12) Projected Representation: “Projected representation” means the percentage of persons
from a monitored group determined by the Chancellor to be available and qualified to perform
the work in question. In the absence of a determination by the Chancellor, projected
representation is given no alternate meaning or application in this Plan.

13) Reasonable Accommodation: "Reasonable accommodation" means the efforts made on the
part of the District to allow disabled applicants to access the job application process and allow
disabled employees to perform the essential functions of their positions, consistent with the
District’s legal obligations under the Americans with Disabilities Act and the California Fair
Employment and Housing Act. “Reasonable Accommodation” may include the items designated

III. Policy Statement
California Code of Regulations, Title 5, Section 53002
The Board of Trustees of the Cerritos Community College District (“District”), by adoption of this
Equal Employment Opportunity Plan, reaffirms its commitment to the principles of equal
employment opportunity and implements a comprehensive program to put those principles
into practice.
It is the policy
1
of the District to ensure that all qualified applicants for employment and
employees have full and equal access to employment opportunity, and are not subjected to
discrimination in any program or activity of the District on the basis of ethnic group
identification, race, color, national origin, religion, age, sex, physical disability, mental disability,
ancestry, sexual orientation, on the basis of these perceived characteristics, or on association
with a person or group with one or more of these actual or perceived characteristics. The
District will strive to maintain a workplace that is welcoming to individuals from all such groups;
appreciates the contributions of individuals from diverse backgrounds; and recognizes that
diversity and inclusivity foster cooperation, acceptance, democracy, workplace safety, and the
free expression of ideas essential to a robust academic community and the preparation of
students for success in a global society.
This Equal Employment Opportunity Plan will be maintained to ensure the implementation of
equal employment opportunity principles that conform to federal and state laws.

commitment and a contribution from every segment of the District. The general responsibilities
for the prompt and effective implementation of this Plan are set forth below.
1. Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees is ultimately responsible for proper implementation of the District’s Plan
at all levels of District operation, and for ensuring equal employment opportunity as described
in the Plan.
2. President/Superintendent
The Board of Trustees delegates to the President/Superintendent the responsibility for ongoing
implementation of the Plan and for providing campus leadership in managing District resources
to ensure the implementation of the District’s equal employment opportunity policies and
procedures. The President/Superintendent shall advise the Board of Trustees concerning
statewide policy emanating from the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges
and direct the publication of an annual report on Plan implementation. The
President/Superintendent will evaluate the performance of all administrative staff who report
directly to him/her on their ability to follow and implement the Plan.
3. Equal Employment Opportunity Officer
The District has designated the Director, Diversity, Benefits, and Compliance as its equal
employment opportunity officer. This position is responsible for the day-to-day implementation
of the Plan. If the designation of the equal employment opportunity officer changes before this
Plan is next revised, the District will notify employees and applicants for employment of the
new designee. The equal employment opportunity officer is responsible for administering,
implementing and monitoring the Plan and for assuring compliance with the requirements of
Title 5, Sections 53000 et seq. The equal employment opportunity officer is also responsible for
receiving complaints described in Section VI of this Plan and for ensuring that applicant pools
and selection procedures are properly monitored.
4. Equal Employment Opportunity Advisory Committee

act as an advisory body to the equal employment opportunity officer and the District as a whole
to promote understanding and support of equal employment opportunity policies and
procedures. The Equal Employment Opportunity Advisory Committee will assist in the

monitor equal employment opportunity progress, and provide suggestions for Plan revisions as
appropriate.

V. Advisory Committee
California Code of Regulations, Title 5, Section 53005
The District has established an Equal Employment Opportunity Advisory Committee (EEOAC)
to assist the District in implementing the Plan. The EEOAC is one of the District’s Shared

The EEOAC may also assist in promoting an understanding and support of equal opportunity
and nondiscrimination policies and procedures. The EEOAC may sponsor events, training, or
other activities that promote equal employment opportunity, nondiscrimination, retention and
diversity. The Equal Employment Opportunity Officer will train the EEOAC members on equal
employment compliance and the Plan itself.
The EEOAC will include a diverse membership whenever possible. A substantial good faith
effort, to the extent permitted by law, will be made to maintain a diverse membership. If the
District has been unable to meet this expectation, it will document the efforts made to foster
diversity on the EEOAC.
The EEOAC shall include the following ex officio members: Vice President of Human Resources,
the Title IX officer, and the ADA coordinator (if different than the Director, Diversity, Benefits,
and Compliance). When appropriate, the EEOAC will make recommendations to the Vice
President of Human Resources/Assistant Superintendent, who will report the
recommendations to the Board of Trustees, the President/Superintendent, and the Director,
Diversity, Benefits, and Compliance.

VI. Complaints
California Code of Regulations, Title 5, sections 53003(c)(2), 53026, and 59300 et seq.
Complaints Alleging Violation of the Equal Employment Opportunity Regulations (Title 5,
Section 53026).
The District has established the following process permitting any person to file a complaint
alleging that the requirements of the equal employment opportunity regulations have been
violated. Any person who believes that the equal employment opportunity regulations have
been violated may file a written complaint describing in detail the alleged violation. All
complaints will be signed and dated by the complainant and will contain, to the best of the
complainant’s ability, the names of the individuals involved, the date(s) of the event(s) at issue,
and a detailed description of the actions constituting the alleged violation. Complaints involving
current hiring processes must be filed as soon as possible after the occurrence of an alleged
violation and not later than sixty (60) days after such occurrence unless the complainant can
verify a compelling reason for the District to waive the sixty (60) day limitation.
Complaints alleging violations of the Plan that do not involve current hiring processes must be
filed as soon as possible after the occurrence of an alleged violation and not later than ninety
(90) days after such occurrence unless the violation is ongoing. A complainant may not appeal
the District’s determination pursuant to Title 5, section 53026, to the Chancellor’s Office, but
under some circumstances, violations of the equal opportunity regulations in Title 5 may
constitute a violation of a minimum condition for receipt of state aid. In such a case, a
complaint can be filed with the Chancellor’s Office, but the complainant will be required to
demonstrate that he/she made previous reasonable, but unsuccessful, efforts to resolve the
alleged violation at the District level using the process provided by Title 5, Section 53026
3
.
The District may return without action any complaints that are inadequate because they do not
state a clear violation of the EEO regulations. All returned complaints must include a District
statement of the reason for returning the complaint without action.
The complaint will be filed with the Director, Diversity, Benefits, and Compliance. If the
complaint involves the Director, the complaint may be filed with the Vice President of Human
Resources. To the extent practicable, a written determination on all accepted written
complaints will be issued to the complainant within ninety (90) days of the filing of the
complaint. The Director will forward copies of all written complaints to the Chancellor’s Office
upon receipt.

X. Analysis of District Workforce and Applicant Pool
California Code of Regulations, Title 5, section 53003(c)(6)
The Human Resources Department annually assesses the District’s workforce composition and

but will be counted in only one ethnic group for reporting purposes. This information is kept
confidential and is separated from the applications that are forwarded to the
screening/selection committees and hiring administrator(s). The Director, Diversity, Benefits,
and Compliance will annually prepare a report and present it to the EEOAC, and post this report
on the EEOAC webpage. The District annually reports to the Chancellor the results of its annual
survey of employees.
At least every three years the Plan will be reviewed and, if necessary, revised based on an
analysis of the ethnic group identification, gender, and disability composition of existing staff
and of those who have applied for employment in each of the following identified job
categories:
1) Executive/Administrative/Managerial

XIV. Other Measures Necessary to Further Equal Employment Opportunity

The District recognizes that multiple approaches are appropriate to fulfill its mission of ensuring
equal employment opportunity, the development of a diverse workforce, and the creation of an
inclusive, equitable and fair working and learning environment. Equal employment opportunity
means that all qualified individuals have a full and fair opportunity to compete for hiring and
promotion and to enjoy the benefits of employment with the District. Equal employment
opportunity should exist at all levels and in all job categories. Ensuring equal employment
opportunity also involves creating an environment that fosters cooperation, acceptance, and
free expression of ideas and is welcoming to men, women, persons with disabilities, and
individuals from all protected classes.
The District shall take concrete steps to promote equal opportunity, workplace diversity and an
inclusive work environment. The District shall also take concrete steps to monitor its progress in
these areas. The Vice President for Human Resources shall ensure that the specific steps that
will be utilized by the District are identified and updated on a regular basis. These concrete
steps may include any of the examples listed below, or other measures as identified and
developed by the EEOAC in close consultation with the Vice President for Human Resources.
(a) Conduct surveys of campus climate on a regular basis, and implement concrete
measures that utilize the information drawn from the surveys;
(b) Conduct exit interviews with employees who voluntary leave the district, maintain a
data base of exit interviews, analyze the data for patterns impacting particular
monitored groups, and implement concrete measures that utilize this information;
(c) Conduct annual longitudinal analysis of hiring statistics, analyze the data for patterns
impacting particular monitored groups, and implement concrete measures that utilize
this information;
(d) Maintain a variety of programs to support newly-hired employees such as mentoring,
professional development, and leadership opportunities;
(e) Provide trainings on topics including: elimination of bias in hiring and employment,
cultural awareness, and harassment and discrimination;
(f) Convey the District’s diversity and commitment to equal employment opportunity in
District publications and on the District website.

the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as amended.
All job announcements will provide persons with disabilities information on how to request
accommodation in the selection process. All job announcements shall be reviewed to ensure
that, if they include a statement of the physical demands of the position, the demands are job
related and include a statement that inability to perform the physical demands of the position
due to a disability will be reasonably accommodated. Selection Process Monitors will be trained
to support selection committees in ensuring that persons with disabilities receive appropriate
accommodation in the selection process.

reasonable accommodations through the District’s processes. The District welcomes applicants
and employees with disabilities.
