Equal Employment Opportunity
Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO)
The Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District (GCCCD) is an Equal Opportunity Employer that champions diversity and inclusion in its recruitment, hiring, retention, and promotion policies and practices. It is GCCCD policy to ensure equal opportunity for all individuals regardless of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, age, sexual orientation, and veteran status.
Grossmont College and Cuyamaca College, which comprises the Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District, are dedicated to fostering equal opportunity in their academic and work environments, ensuring that the campuses are free from unlawful discrimination and harassment. The District believes that a diverse array of people and perspectives enriches the quality of education and work experience at GCCCD. This commitment to diversity is a core value of the District.
While the Office of Human Resources is responsible for overseeing the District's compliance with applicable equal employment laws and policies and for implementing the Equal Employment Opportunity Plan, promoting equal opportunity is a collective responsibility shared by the entire GCCCD community. This integrated approach to equal opportunity and diversity ensures that all students, faculty, staff, and visitors receive fair and equitable treatment in every program and facility within the District.
The District takes all claims of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation seriously. Employees, students, applicants, and others are encouraged to report any concerns related to discrimination or harassment. All reports will be handled in accordance with district procedures and applicable laws, including Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, the Equal Employment Opportunity Act, and other relevant federal and state legislation. If you wish to file a complaint related to EEO, Title IX, or disability services, please contact Michael Z. Salvador, Title IX/EEO Officer, at 619-644-7039 or email michael.salvador@gcccd.edu.
