Job Summary - The Chabot College
Community
Chabot College is committed to educational equity in its academic
programs and college services so that students may achieve their
personal, educational, and career goals. Our equity work today
builds upon a strong history: the Puente and Umoja programs were
first created at Chabot College, and have since been replicated
across the state. These programs have paved the way for a series of
additional educational and student
support programs intentionally focused on equity that thrive at
Chabot College today. Chabot College is located in Hayward,
California, the third most diverse city in the United States. We
serve a highly diverse student population and are proud to be
designated as a Hispanic Serving Institution. Information about the
demographics of our campus community can be found here. Serving our
diverse community requires a culturally-responsive approach that
recognizes the myriad strengths and assets that our students bring
to the campus community. We do so by promoting a classroom and
co-curricular learning environment that is inclusive,
collaborative, engaging, and challenging, and where respect,
dignity, and integrity are core values. We see students as
producers of knowledge, not just consumers of knowledge. We work to
reframe inequities as a problem of practice, and view the
elimination of inequities as an individual and institutional
responsibility.
Joining Our College Community
We seek equity-minded applicants who demonstrate they understand
the benefits diversity brings to an educational community. We look
for applicants who:
1. Value and intentionally promote diversity and consciousness of
difference
2. Demonstrate cultural humility and an ongoing desire to improve
cultural
competence
3. Are dedicated to addressing issues of social justice
4. Accept their shared role and responsibility in addressing
opportunity and achievement gaps experienced by students
5. Have experience and success in closing student equity gaps and
engaging in equitable practices, or are knowledgeable and
enthusiastic about implementing practices that achieve these
goals
6. Actively seek to identify, disrupt, and remove institutional
and/or systemic barriers that adversely impact historically
marginalized communities
7. Empower the underrepresented and underserved
8. Foster students’ potential to become global citizens and
socially responsible leaders
9. Believe that all people have the right to an education and work
environment free from fear, harassment, or discrimination
