MSJC Equity Definition We, the Mt. San Jacinto College Faculty, Classified Professionals, and Administrators, acknowledge there are systemic barriers that have historically been excluded and prevented equal outcomes for students on the basis of: Race/Ethnicity Gender Expression Sexuality National Origin Socioeconomic Status Ability Language Religion Age Physical Appearance Intersections of these Identities. Therefore, we define equity as an investment and commitment to achieving parity in academic outcomes by removing institutional barriers and creating an inclusive and culturally affirming learning environment. As such, we are dedicated to challenging our perceptions, biases, and blind spots through self-reflection and constant inquiry to identify and eliminate equity gaps and reinvest in our communities. Our purpose is to celebrate diversity, instill hope, and empower our students NAME OR LOGO 3 to transform their lives and those around them.
