Lane Community College is committed to employing administrators, faculty, and staff members who are dedicated to student success and committed to an inclusive, anti-racist campus culture.  The Board of Education recognizes that diversity, equity, and inclusion in the academic environment fosters cultural awareness, promotes mutual understanding and respect, and provides suitable role models for all students and employees.  The Board of Education is committed to hiring and staff development processes that support the goals of equitable opportunity and diversity, equity, and inclusion and provide equal consideration for all candidates and create an academic and employment environment to support these goals.

Board Policies are adopted by the Lane Community College Board of Education and establish the College’s governing principles and institutional direction. These policies are reviewed by the Board at least every five years or more often as needed. Board Policies are distinct from College Operating Policies and Procedures (COPPS), which provide operational guidance and are developed through governance processes and by responsible managers.
