Framework of Integrated Strategic Plan
The framework used to address structural and systemic inequities acknowledges that the work of improving opportunity gaps for historically underserved communities is effective when the college takes a collective responsibility in developing and moving its diversity, equity, inclusion, and antiracism agenda forward with the vision that this is all of our work. We based our plan on the American Council on Education's Shared Equity Leadership framework. 
Framework for Professional Development
We chose to frame our work through the lens of Inclusive Excellence. 
This framework supports a shared equity framework in which all students, faculty, and staff have a role and a responsibility in affirming differences, as EvCC strives to fulfill its institutional mission.
