Equity and Diversity Advisory Council
SCC strives to create a campus community with a richly diverse intellectual and social environment
where equal opportunity and equal protection are afforded to all. The college's Equity and Diversity
Advisory Council (EDAC) was created to pursue that vision.
EDAC Meetings
are held in the Student Activities Conference Room in the Lair (Building 6) and
generally take place on the fourth Tuesday of each month with the exception of summer quarter.
EDAC Mission
The SCC EDAC is an Advisory Council. Our mission is to create a diverse campus community in which students,
employees, and community partners are treated with respect and dignity. We believe our campus is greatly
enriched by the presence of people with diverse backgrounds and cultural perspectives.
In order to achieve such an environment, we will provide recommendations annually to the College Alliance
and administrators that:
- Identify and remove practices and structures that discriminate, marginalize, or oppress certain groups of people
- Increase diversity among our student body and our employees
- Support diversity-based initiatives on campus and within the community
EDAC Purpose
The Council's purpose is to support the college's mission of being a leader in providing accessible and
affordable educational opportunities responsive to the needs of our diverse population. In addition to providing
coordination of the college's diversity initiatives, the EDAC will focus on the following major areas: student success,
teaching and training, employee recruitment and retention, social justice, and community relations.
