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.
