As a part of this system, we acknowledge that our institution has been complicit in perpetuating racism on our campus and in our community. We also recognize that TCC is located on the ancestral territory of First Nations peoples. The Puyallup tribe, a member of the Coast Salish tribal peoples has called this area home since time immemorial. We recognize that the privilege of our campus being on this land comes at great cost to the Coast Salish peoples. In alignment with TCC’s strategic mission and vision, Management and Faculty have a shared commitment to advancing anti-racist practices in all aspects of our work at TCC. Students are the heart of our College. Management and Faculty have a shared responsibility to dismantle historically unjust institutional practices and policies and take focused action to support the success of students who as a result of these colonial structures continue to face oppression and inequities in their pursuit of higher education. We share a commitment to actively address ableism, classism, homophobia, racism, sexism, transphobia, and xenophobia at our College. This agreement articulates and implements policies and practices related to hiring, professional development, instruction, and compensation that support inclusion, promote the representation of systemically non-dominant faculty groups, and actively address barriers to equity for students.
