College Policy on Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity & Diversity (PAA)
At STCC we foster a climate of purposeful inclusion, an environment where all can feel safe, valued, cared for, and given an opportunity to form meaningful connections with each other. STCC values the diversity of humanity, a diversity which includes the protected classifications of:
Age, Color, Disability, Ethnicity, Gender Identity, Genetic Information, LGBTQIA+, National Origin, Natural and Protected Hairstyles, Parental Status, Persons of Color, Pregnancy or Related Conditions, Race, Religion, Sex Characteristics, Sexual Orientation, Sex Stereotypes, and Veteran Status.
The College also recognizes and values differences in financial means, education, and political perspectives.
The PAA is a statewide policy adopted by the Board of Trustees of Community Colleges to promote nondiscrimination based on the above-protected classifications. Prohibitive Conduct as defined by the PAA includes:
Discrimination, Discriminatory Harassment, Retaliation, Sex-Based Harassment
