Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI)

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee at Beaufort County Community College exists to 
promote understanding, acceptance, and enhancement of diversity in all its human facets and with 
respect to ideas at the College and to propose actions related to the promotion of equity and inclusion 
across the College community to the Senior Staff. The President of the College will then decide whether 
such recommendations require further action by either the College Leadership Council or the College 
Board of Trustees or both bodies.
Committee Functions:
1.    Provide recommendations to Senior Staff for relevant, operational definitions of diversity, equity, and 
inclusion and any such revisions to these definitions.
2.    Determine challenges to and opportunities for meeting the purpose of the Committee via a 
comprehensive, college-wide, standardized survey instrument.
3.    Determine and suggest actions to the Senior Staff regarding the correlation between DEI and student 
success.
4.    Propose to the Senior Staff activities for student, faculty, and staff that will enhance the purpose of 
the Committee, including professional development opportunities.
5.    Review existing College policies and procedures that may inhibit equity and inclusion.
6.    Propose to the Senior Staff means by which DEI can be individualized and humanized so as to make 
the concepts understandable and acceptable to all students, faculty, and staff, including, but not limited 
to, discussion of Judeo-Christian concepts of social justice
