Commitment to Equity

Setting the Stage for Change

The four pillars of our equity and inclusion efforts are:

1. Madison College will eliminate racist policies, practices and procedures to achieve more equitable outcomes.

The goal is to provide opportunities for employees and students to engage in focused conversations on race and other current topics.

2. Students of color and traditionally underrepresented populations will persist and succeed at greater rates in order to achieve more equitable outcomes.

The goal is to increase the persistence and completion rates of students of color as compared against the benchmark academic year 2019-2020

3. Employee demographics will mirror student demographics.

The goal is to develop a comprehensive hiring process from crafting position descriptions to on-boarding employees. We will report employee demographics annually highlighting changes in inclusive hiring using the academic year 2019-2020 as a benchmark.

4. Every employee, student, and guest will experience a welcoming and inclusive Madison College.

The goal is to Provide a welcoming and inclusive environment for faculty, staff and visitors through climate and customer service surveys using the 2020-2021 academic year as the benchmark.
