Equity Statment
Guttman Community College strives to create an equitable community in which all students, faculty, and staff regardless of their identity can work, learn and grow to their maximum potential. While we are a Minority Serving Institution, we recognize that building an equitable, diverse, and inclusive campus is not just about demographics.
Equity is different from equality, requiring that Guttman create and sustain an atmosphere in which all members feel valued and appreciated; where meaningful interaction among groups is commonplace; and where individual barriers to success, whether through institutional policy, or practice are identified and dismantled.
Guttman is committed to becoming a model in which all community members are considered in the curriculum, in leadership, and in the issues we interrogate. In a truly evolving community like Guttman, the work of equity, diversity, and inclusion is an ongoing process that encourages individuals to bring their full authentic selves to the academic space, thereby enriching the educational environment.
