Equal Opportunity
Non-Discrimination Policy
The Los Rios Community College District is in compliance with all pertinent titles and sections of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Educational Amendments of 1972, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and all other applicable federal, state and local laws.
It is the policy of the Los Rios Community College District to take affirmative action to guarantee that no qualified student, or prospective student, or any person in his/her educational relationship with the district, be discriminated against or excluded from any benefits, activities or programs on the grounds of ethnic group identification, religion, gender, age, race, sexual orientation, or physical or mental disability, nor shall any student be discriminated against for conversing in a language other than English. However, students shall be required to speak English when an instructional setting necessitates the use of English for educational or communication purposes.
The district further complies with those federal and state laws and the regulations of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges that prohibit sexual harassment. In addition, the college supports and complies with the Federal Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Applied Technology Education Act of 1990 by reducing sex discrimination, sex bias, and sex stereotyping in vocational education and employment.
Such non-discrimination policies extend to all functions and activities of the Los Rios Community College District, including employment and employment selection, educational programs, services, admissions, and financial aid. Student equity in all academic and vocational programs is a primary goal of the college.
The college also attempts to achieve a balanced staff representative of the composition of the community so that students will have an opportunity to relate to members of minority races, ethnic groups, individuals with disabilities, and women.
