Charge

The Equity and Diversity Action Committee (EDAC) responds to resolutions from the plenary sessions that deal with the issues of equity and diversity in hiring, equal opportunity, and cultural diversity in the curriculum. EDAC recommends content, methods and strategies to 1) promote student equity and student success, including effective teaching methodologies and approaches to student learning styles; 2) facilitate training for hiring committees; and 3) foster a campus climate conducive to faculty diversity and student achievement. The committee advises the Executive Committee on guidelines, laws and regulations relating to equal employment opportunity and cultural diversity and promotes the integration of equity and diversity issues in appropriate ASCCC activities. Members of the committee participate in scoring applications for the Stanback-Stroud Diversity Award.
