Delaware Technical & Community College will develop and implement a program which will assure that the College is uniformly addressing diversity in all of its activities. The concept of diversity stresses respect for all human differences. Diversity is an asset that provides a balance of different viewpoints, perspectives, and strengths.

The College’s program will increase knowledge and understanding of diversity issues. Greater innovation and creativity in curricular matters, decision making, and problem solving will be possible in this socially diverse environment. Diversity will encompass all aspects of College functions, including employee relations, student recruitment and retention, the curriculum, and academic life.

Gender, racial, ethnic, cultural, religious, and other differences enrich the educational and social environment where individuals teach, learn, and work. Differences among our students and employees present the College with opportunities to cultivate mutual understanding and respect.

In demonstrating its commitment to diversity, Delaware Technical & Community College will continue supporting the pluralistic community it serves, which complements its philosophy and mission.
