Commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Anti-Racism and Accessibility (DEIAA)

NOCCCD’s commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Anti-Racism & Accessibility (DEIAA) means that we strive to eliminate barriers to equity and act deliberately to create a safe and inclusive environment where individual and group differences are valued and leveraged for our growth and understanding as an educational community. DEIAA is a deeply held value by the District, and it is also our approach to teaching and learning that aims to improve the way we prepare students for a diverse and global environment. 
 
Both Cypress College and Fullerton College are designated as Hispanic-Serving Institutions with 51% and 55% Hispanic enrollment, respectively. Fullerton College is designated as an Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution (AANAPISI) with 12% Asian Pacific Islander enrollment. While not eligible for federal funding, North Orange Continuing Education is one of the most diverse institutions in California with 24% Hispanic and 16% Asian student enrollment. 

The North Orange County Community College District (NOCCCD) is unwaveringly devoted to fostering Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO), Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Anti-Racism, and Accessibility (DEIAA). Cultivating a diverse and inclusive workforce that upholds equity is pivotal for creating a vibrant academic setting where both students and employees can flourish. In our ongoing commitment to DEIAA, NOCCCD is dedicated to dismantling equity barriers and proactively creating a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere that values and capitalizes on the diverse perspectives and experiences of our educational community. Embracing DEIAA is not only a core value of the District, but it also informs our approach to teaching and learning, enhancing our ability to prepare students for a global and diverse world.
