Affirmative Action
Non-discrimination requires the elimination of all existing
unlawful discriminatory conditions, whether purposeful or
inadvertent. Roxbury Community College is continuing to
systematically examine all policies and procedures to be
sure that they do not, if implemented as stated, operate
to the detriment of any person on the basis of a protected
classification. The College shall require that the practices
of those responsible in matters of employment and edu-
cation, including all supervisors and faculty, are non-dis-
criminatory. Should the College discover discrimination
in treatment or effect in any employment, educational or
service decision, action, inaction, or practice within the
College, all appropriate corrective and/or disciplinary
actions shall be taken under the direction of the President
of the College subject to any applicable collective bargain-
ing agreement or other policy or procedure of the College.
Roxbury Community College is committed to a policy of
Affirmative Action, equal opportunity, equal education,
non-discrimination, and diversity, thereby providing a
learning, working, and living environment for its students,
employees and other members of the College Community,
which values the diverse backgrounds of all people. The
College believes that the diversity of socio-economic,
racial, ethnic, religious, gender, sexual orientation, age,
and disability backgrounds of members of the College
community enriches the institution and its various constit-
uencies. The College will not tolerate behavior based on
bigotry, which has the effect of discriminating unlawfully
against any member of their communities.
Roxbury Community College is committed to providing
equal access to educational, co-curricular, and em-
ployment opportunities at the College for all applicants,
students, and employees in compliance with all applicable
laws, regulations, and policies. All benefits, privileges, and
opportunities offered by the Colleges are available to all
students, employees and other persons having dealings
with the institutions on a non- discriminatory basis. The

Resources, and may be found online at https://www.rcc.
