Peninsula College's Commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Our collaboratively developed shared definition of equity is that as a College "we aspire to ensure that all students, faculty, and staff have access to resources and support in proportion to their needs and that they feel respected, connected, and can thrive in their goals." Peninsula College's equity efforts are led by an Equity Standing Committee with cross-campus representation. The committee appoints equity work groups and develops, assesses, and updates an annual equity plan. That committee's collective work has identified the need for a position that can lead the College's work in equitable hiring practices and equity training for all employees and that can act as resource for the College's equity partners by sharing expertise and leadership.

At Peninsula College, we are committed to ensuring a fair and unbiased hiring process. To support this commitment, we use an application redaction process. This means that certain personal identifying information will be removed from your application before it is reviewed by our hiring committee.
