Equity, Diversity, Inclusion (EDI) Elements of This Search

Seattle Colleges is fully committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in our hiring practices. 

Inclusion Advocates

Seattle Colleges’ Inclusion Advocate Program is designed to create a standardized, anti-biased search process to build a rich and diverse workforce that reflects the diversity of our students and community. Trained inclusion advocates work in conjunction with the search committee, hiring manager, and Human Resources in all levels of the hiring process as non-voting members to guide search committee members in recognizing and avoiding unconscious bias.

Seattle Colleges' Inclusion Advocate Program was developed with permission from and modeled after Oregon State University’s Search Advocate program.

Equal Opportunity, Equal Employment

Seattle Colleges is committed to the concept and practice of equal opportunity for all its students, employees, and applicants in education, employment, services and contracts, and does not discriminate on the basis of race or ethnicity, color, age, national origin, religion, marital status, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, veteran or disabled veteran status, political affiliation or belief, citizenship/status as a lawfully admitted immigrant authorized to work in the United States, or presence of any physical, sensory, or mental disability.

This commitment is formalized in District Policy #201, “Equal Opportunity Statement and Accommodation for District.”
