Office of Equity and Inclusion
Closing the Equity Gap, One Success Story at a Time
Equity Statement
Believing a well-educated population is essential to sustaining a democratic and just society, we commit to the work of equity, which is to dismantle oppressive systems (structural, cultural, and individual) and create a college community where success is not predictable by race.
Our Mission
The Office of Equity and Inclusion fosters an educational environment that centers race and empowers Foothill College employees to create a community where all students can thrive.
Our Vision
We envision a college community where student outcomes are not predictable by race and every member works together to dismantle barriers, creating real opportunities for students to reach their goals.
Our Purpose
The Office of Equity and Inclusion was created to develop and support a culture of equity at Foothill College that promotes student success, particularly for underserved students.
It supports the district and college missions, which define equity as efforts to close equity gaps across all student outcomes.
The office's functions are guided by the goals and initiatives stated in the College's educational master plan (EMP) and student equity plan (SEP).
