The Chabot College Community Equity Statement
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.

7. Empower the underrepresented and underserved
