Compton College Equity Statement

Equity refers to achieving parity in student educational outcomes, regardless of race and ethnicity, background, or identity. Equity processes ensure that all people have an equal opportunity to engage and succeed in a high-quality educational experience while providing all students with the tools to support their academic, career, and personal goals. Compton College students identify needs and solutions to equity problems on campus. Compton College identifies and removes barriers that produce inequity and intentionally designs new programs or refines services to provide each student with what they need to be successful in their college experience.

Compton College Student Equity Plan (2025-2028)

This SEA Plan is rooted in Compton College's commitment to intentional and integrated comprehensive planning. Compton College 2035 was developed through an inclusive, participatory process that engaged all constituency groups. Faculty, students, classified professionals, administrators, and community members—through Academic Senate, Associated Students, Campus Committees, President's Cabinet, advisory boards, and community outreach.

Because Compton College is focused on intentional and integrated comprehensive planning with a singular institutional goal, The Compton College 2035 planning process and its outcomes directly informed this SEA Plan. The stakeholder engagement, equity-mindedness principles, and singular goal established through Compton College 2035 provide the foundation and framework for this SEA Plan's development and implementation. This approach ensures alignment acrossall institutional planning efforts and prevents siloed work that could undermine our collective focus on accelerating student completion while advancing equity and success.
