Preface

The College Mission

Delaware Technical Community College - Students are at the Center of Everything We Do. We empower students to change their lives through comprehensive educational opportunities and supportive services. As the state’s only community college, we provide quality education that is accessible, relevant, and responsive to labor market and community needs while contributing to Delaware’s economic vitality. We value all individuals and provide an inclusive environment that fosters equity and student success. (Effective July 1, 2019)

Mission Goals

  1. Comprehensive educational offerings will prepare students for transition to employment and/or transfer opportunities.
  2. Programs, activities, and services will cultivate student learning and success.
  3. Personal enrichment offerings will enhance and support our community.
  4. An inclusive environment will promote equity and respect for diversity.
  5. Public and private resources and partnerships will be expanded and utilized to support student success.

(Effective July 1, 2019)

The College is firmly committed to a policy of providing educational programs of the highest quality. The maintenance of that standard requires the fulfillment of various responsibilities by the Board of Trustees and all employees. The Board must work on a continuing basis to maintain a well-qualified and productive staff, equipped with adequate facilities and resources, and provided with proper working conditions, compensation, and benefits. Employees, in turn, have an obligation for the maintenance of quality and productivity in their efforts, to conduct themselves in a professional manner, to work toward the attainment of the College's goals, to follow the regulations, policies, and procedures of the College, and in general, to work together and with the Board to serve the interests of students.

The Personnel Policy Manual

The purposes of this manual are to acquaint full-time employees with various policies and regulations concerning their duties, responsibilities, and privileges; to outline the many benefits employees of the College accrue; and to foster good working relationships and orderly administration.

Obviously, all contingencies that might arise cannot be anticipated. Information about matters not covered herein may be obtained directly from appropriate College officials.

To ensure that policies, procedures, and benefits are kept current and to promote the purposes and philosophy of the College, this manual will be reviewed annually by the Human Resources and Legal Affairs Department in the Office of the President, and the President shall have the authority to approve changes of a non-substantive nature or to incorporate revisions required by State or federal law and regulations. Between reviews, employees will be informed of any changes in the content(s) of this manual mandated by the Board of Trustees, and by changes in State and federal law and regulations. Furthermore, it is the policy of the Board of Trustees to encourage ongoing input from the employees of the College.
