The Community College of Baltimore County’s broad definition of diversity celebrates all CCBC students and employees across all lines of race, ethnicity, gender, age, mental and physical ability, religion, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin and opinion. Deeply committed to the premise that “Every one of Us Counts,” as well as a commitment to taking “Actions that Matter,” CCBC recognizes the value of a diverse workforce that reflects the students and the community we serve.
CCBC is committed to ensuring equal opportunity and nondiscrimination in all of its hiring and employment practices. All applicants for employment, promotion and/or transfer will be assessed based on their education, training, experience and qualifications.
Applicants and employees will not be discriminated against based on race, color, religion, gender, age, national origin, ancestry, veteran status, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, engaging in protected activity, or any other basis protected by law. This include Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title 20, State Government Article, Annotated Code of Maryland and other related authorities.
This applies to all terms, conditions and privileges of employment including, but not limited to, hiring, placement, promotion, demotion, layoff, recall, transfer, leave of absence, compensation, training, and referrals for employment.
CCBC is committed to providing a work environment free from discrimination and/or harassment of any nature including, but not limited to, racial, religious, sexual orientation, age, gender, national origin, ancestral, veteran status, disability or any other type of harassment. Harassment is unwanted verbal, physical, or visual conduct relating to an individual’s race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, national origin, ancestry, veteran status, or disability. This behavior will not be condoned or tolerated by CCBC.
Sexual harassment includes unwelcome sexual advances or visual, verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature which creates an offensive, intimidating or hostile work environment. Sexual harassment includes requests for sexual favors, sexual comments, suggestions, jokes, and the display of sexually suggestive pictures, calendars or other objects.
CCBC is committed to complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and all other applicable federal and state regulations, to ensure equal access to employment opportunities for qualified applicants and employees with disabilities. A qualified individual with a disability is anyone who has the skills, experience and education required for the position and who can perform the job’s essential functions, with or without reasonable accommodation. CCBC is committed to making reasonable accommodations (reasonable changes in the work environment or in the manner in which duties are performed) for qualified individuals with a disability, unless doing so would present an undue hardship to the college. Undue hardships include accommodations that are unduly costly and/or those which fundamentally alter the nature or operation of the college.
CCBC notes its commitment to equality and fairness in all federally-funded programs and activities and to ensure compliance with the provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and related non-discrimination authorities, including 49 CFR Part 21 and 49 CFR Part 303.
Pursuant to Title VI, CCBC prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, age, national origin, income status, limited English proficiency (LEP) and/or disability. No person, on the basis of their protected status, shall be excluded from participating in or denied the benefits, services, programs, or activities of, or subjected to discrimination under any College program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.
Any student or member of the public may file a complaint of discrimination alleging violations of Title VI (and related authorities) with the College’s General Counsel.
