to prevent discriminatory employment practices and to ensure that
employment, promotions, and terminations of individuals are handled
on a fair and impartial basis.
As part of a commitment to increase
the number of minority employees, Western Piedmont has established a
goal that the proportion of minority employees should be equal to
their proportionate representation in the relevant labor markets for
faculty, administrative, professional, and non-academic positions.
The Trustees and President shall oversee and monitor the
implementation of the Ethnic and Gender Diversity Enhancement Plan
through the Affirmative Action Officer in cooperation with all
faculty and staff throughout the College. Affirmative action and
equal education opportunity are viewed as integral parts of the
mission of Western Piedmont Community College.
