Equity/Diversity/Inclusion

Foothills is committed to the pursuit of equity, diversity and inclusion. We seek to overcome all barriers that exclude people from fully belonging in community.

Equity acknowledges that structures (historically or otherwise) have created inequitable access to resources and opportunities. Equity corrects inequalities by allocating resources and opportunities in a manner that allows for a genuinely fair outcome for all. Sometimes, this means resources are shared unequally to produce equity. Equity includes transforming policies, procedures, and structures correct historical biases that have privileged some over others.

Diversity reflects the multiplicity of identities that make up a community. It includes making space for representation for non-dominant groups.

Inclusion involves creating welcoming and respectful environments where all can participate and thrive.
