2011 AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PROGRAM
FOR
MINORITIES AND WOMEN
2
2011 MCCCD AAP
PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF THIS PROGRAM
As required by its covered federal contracts, MCCCD has developed this Affirmative Action Program in
accordance with the implementing regulations for Executive Order 11246, as amended, that are set forth
in 41 CFR 60-2.
This program is designed to systematically ensure that MCCCD nondiscrimination policy is fully
implemented in all of its personnel decisions through the use of personnel activity data to identify and
correct problem areas or potential impediments to genuine equal employment opportunity for all of its
applicants and employees.
The annual placement rate goals contained in this program will not be implemented, and should not be
interpreted as quotas or as an admission or indication that MCCCD has discriminated against minorities
or women. Instead these goals are intended to be realistic and reasonable measurements of how well
MCCCD‗s recruitment policies and practices produce qualified applicant pools that reasonably reflect
minority and female availability estimates, and whether its selection procedures and practices are
demonstrably job related and nondiscriminatory.
The goals are complemented by action oriented commitments and internal monitoring of application,
selection, promotion, and retention rates that will highlight job groups and organizational units, for which
the data identifies potential equal opportunity problems or impediments from which additional analysis
and appropriate actions will be undertaken, as appropriate.

SECTION I. ORGANIZATIONAL PROFILE AND METHODOLOGY
Maricopa County Community College District (MCCCD) is a community college district established
pursuant to A.R.S. Section 15-1401 /et seq/. MCCCD consists of 10 colleges (Chandler-Gilbert, Estrella,
GateWay, Glendale, Mesa, Paradise Valley, Phoenix, Rio Salado, Scottsdale, and South Mountain) and
the District Office that serve nearly 300,000 students.
MCCCD, one of the nation‘s largest community college systems, is headed by Chancellor Rufus Glasper.
Reporting directly to him are the presidents of each of the colleges and the vice chancellors of Academic
and Student Affairs, Business Services, Community Relations, Human Resources, and Information
Technology.
MCCCD has elected to use a workforce analysis (Exhibit A) which consists of listings of job titles as they
appear in its payroll records ranked from the highest paid to the lowest paid within each department or
other similar organizational unit, and showing the wage rate or salary range, total number of incumbents
and the total number of incumbents by race/ethnicity and sex, including departmental or unit supervision.
Methodology:
MCCCD data on employees are centralized and maintained in PeopleSoft. All employee data used in this
report emanated from the PeopleSoft database. Data was analyzed on Board-approved employees
including short-term (one-year-only and one-semester-only) and part-time employees, including adjuncts.
No temporary employees were included in the analyses. A ―snapshot‖ of the workforce, taken on October
1, 2010, was used for the Workforce Analysis and the incumbent data. The applicant, hiring, promotion
and separation data used was for the period of October 1, 2009 to September 30, 2010.
On October 1, 2010, there were 4380 Board-approved MCCCD employees (minus adjuncts). Whites
represent 70% (3047) of the workforce. Minorities constituted 1333 (30%) of MCCCD‘s total workforce
which included 280 (6%) African Americans, 814 (19%) Hispanics, 80 (2%) Native Americans, and 159
(4%) Asian Pacific Islanders. 2577 (59%) were female and 1803(41%) were male.
The total adjunct numbers on October 1, 2010 were 4476. Minorities constituted 682 (15%) of the
adjuncts which included 179 African Americans, (4%), 317 (7%) were Hispanic, 28 (1%) were Native
American and 140 (3%) were Asian Pacific Islander. 2456 (55%) were female and 2020 (45%) were
male.

SECTION II. JOB GROUP ANALYSIS
MCCCD has established Faculty and Employee Groups for the purpose of comparing the representation
of minorities and women in each group with their estimated availability. These groups correspond to the
job groups called for in the OFCCP‘s regulations in that they are similar with regard to content, wage
rates, and opportunities.

SECTION III. COMPARISON OF INCUMBENCY TO AVAILABILITY
As required by the regulations at 41 CFR 60-2.14 (b), MCCCD has computed availability estimates for
minorities and women for each job group. The OFCCP‘s regulations, policies, and standards for
acceptability require that availability estimates for each job group be based on (1) the percentage of
minorities or women with requisite skills in a reasonable recruitment area and/or (2) the percentages of
minorities and women among those promotable, transferable, and trainable within the organization.
The regulations also require federal contractors to use the most recent U.S. Census data to estimate how
many women and members of ethnic minority groups were employed in the same or similar jobs in the
recruitment area for that job group and these estimates are based solely on occupational participation data
from the current EEO Special Census file. For this current AAP, national higher education availability
was used for the recruitment area for executives and faculty. For managers & administrators, and
technology positions a formula of 50% national/50% local was used. Local data was used for all other
staff positions and adjuncts.
The recruitment area for job groups for which recruitment to fill openings is conducted nationally is the
United States. For job groups for which recruitment efforts are made locally, the recruitment area is the
Phoenix-Mesa MSA (Metropolitan Statistical Area). The weight given to labor market areas, local and/or
national is based on available data indicating the geographic areas from which applicants have applied
and MCCCD‘s recruitment programs and objectives.
The following section contains a comparison for each faculty and employee of the current percentages of
minorities and women employed and the external availability data recommended in the OFCCP‘s
regulations.

Based on these comparisons, MCCCD has concluded there are significantly fewer minorities currently
employed in its Health Care & Wellness/P.E. Residential Faculty group and its Vocational & Technical
Residential Faculty group than their representation in the same jobs in the same labor market areas. The
comparisons also indicate there are significantly fewer women currently employed in its College Safety
employee group than their representation in similar jobs in the immediate local labor area. Although the
difference between their representation and external data is not statistically significant, MCCCD employs
only one (1) female out of 55 Crafts employees.
Based on the comparisons between current adjuncts and availability, there are significantly few minorities
employed in the following areas than can reasonably be expected in the same local market area: Art,
Music & Drama; Business, English and Communication; Health Care and Wellness/P.E.; Math and
Computer Sciences; Science; Social Science; and Vocational and Technical. The comparisons also
indicate there are significantly few female adjuncts in the Math & Computer Science, Science, and
Vocational & Technical disciplines. Although not statistically significant, there is a difference between
current number of adjuncts and local availability of women in Business.

With respect to adjunct faculty, there were statistically significant differences between the number of
current Native American adjuncts and those available in the local market area in the English &
Communication, Math & Computer Science, and Science discipline areas. While not statistically
significant, there are few Native Americans in the Health Care & Wellness/P.E. area than can be
expected.
It should be noted that no Native Americans are currently employed as Executive Administrators, Upper
Level MAT, Athletic Specialists, Crafts, Residential Faculty in Humanities and Foreign Languages, or
adjuncts in the Math & Computer Science and Science disciplines.
There are statistically significant fewer Asian Pacific Islanders employed in the Residential Faculty in
English and Communication, Health Care and Wellness/P.E., Math and Computer Science, and
Vocational and Technical Faculty and adjuncts in English & Communication, Health Care &
Wellness/P.E., Math & Computer Science, Science, Education & Counseling, and Vocational &
Technical discipline areas than can reasonably be expected by their external availability. Although the
differences are not statistically significant, there are fewer Asian Pacific Islanders in Lower Maintenance
and Operations than can be expected in the local market area.
SECTION IV. PLACEMENT OBJECTIVES
As required by the regulations at 41 CFR 60-2.16, MCCCD has established the following annual
placement rate goals for each job group in which the representation of minorities or women is less than
can reasonably be expected by their availability.

These annual placement rate goals will not be implemented and should not be interpreted to be quotas or
an admission or indication that MCCCD has discriminated against minorities or women. Instead, these
goals are intended to be realistic and reasonable measurements of how well MCCCD‗s recruitment
policies and practices produce qualified applicant pools that reasonably reflect availability estimates, and
whether its selection procedures and practices are demonstrably job related and nondiscriminatory.
The goals are complemented by action-oriented commitments and the internal monitoring of application,
selection, promotion, and retention rates that will highlight job groups for which the data identifies
potential equal opportunity problems or impediments from which additional analysis and appropriate
actions will be undertaken, as appropriate.

C. New Hire Rates By Faculty/Employee Group, Gender, Race, and Ethnicity (See table above)
1. During the period of October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2010, MCCCD hired 222
employees. 132 (59%) were women and 90 (41%) were men. As mentioned earlier, women
represented 69% of the applicants and men represented 31% of the applicants during this
period. From first look, it appears women were hired in lesser proportions than those who
applied. However, the majority of the postings were for clerical/support positions and
approximately 86% of the applications for clerical positions were received from women.
Women currently represent 73%-81% of the clerical/support staff.
2. 160 (72%) of the 221 hires were White and 62 (28%) were members of minority groups
including 39 (18%) Hispanics, 9 (4%) Asian Pacific Islander, 8 (4%) African Americans, and 6
(3%) Native Americans.
3. 37 of the 221 hires were residential faculty. 14 (38%) of the residential faculty hires were men,
23 (62%) were women. 33 (89%) of the residential faculty hires were White (19 females, 14
males). 3 (8%) of the residential faculty hires were African American females and none were
African American males. 1 (3%) Hispanic female was hired and none of the Hispanic males
who met minimum qualifications for residential faculty openings were hired. None of the
Asian Pacific Islander and none of the Native American applicants who met minimum
qualifications for residential faculty openings were hired. There is no statistically significant
indicator that minorities were adversely impacted in the faculty discipline-based searches. The
EEO compliance office of MCCCD reviewed the search files and found that MCCCD search
procedures were followed, that documented job-related reasons were used to justify the hiring
decisions, and that was no disparate treatment occurred.
4. MCCCD hired 3 Executive level employees, all of whom were White (2 males and 1 female).
5. 182 of the 222 hires were staff employees: 62 MAT (30 females), 103 PSA (77 females), 2
Crafts workers (no females), 5 Maintenance and Operations (1 female), and 10 College Safety
officers (no females). 108 (59%) were female, 74 (41%) were male. 124 (68%) were White
and 58 (32%) were from minority groups that included, 5 (3%) African Americans, 38 (21%)
Hispanic, 9 (5%) APIs, 6 (2%) Native Americans.
The data indicate adverse impact against female and African American applicants for Middle
PSA hiring opportunities during this period. Specifically, there were statistically significant
differences between the number and percentages of applicants versus the number and
percentages of hires in Middle PSA.
Middle PSA women – There were 908 applicants (127 males and 781 females) who
met minimum requirements for 53 postings/hires (39 females and 14 men). The
selection rate for males was 11% while for women the selection rate was 5% thus
resulting statistically in an adverse impact for women. However, when the job group
data were analyzed by job title, it revealed there were only two job titles (Science Lab
Technician and Photo Ceramic Lab Technician) for which the selection rate of men was
higher than women but the data was neither statistically nor practically significant, and
the data being insufficient, to conclude adverse impact occurred. While not significant,
MCCCD will monitor these two job titles over two years to see if the differences
become statistically different.
Middle PSA African Americans - There were 572 White and 89 African American
applicants who met minimum qualifications. 38 Whites and 1 African American was
hired. Thus, the selection rate for Whites was 7% while the selection rate for African
16
2011 MCCCD AAP
Americans was 1%. However, further analyses by job title revealed only 2 job
groups/titles with a significant number of African American applicants—Financial Aid
Technician and 5 clerical/support titles. 15 African Americans applied for the one
financial aid technician opening which is neither statistically or practically significant,
and the data being insufficient to conclude adverse impact occurred. The majority (69)
of African Americans applied for clerical/support positions of which none were hired.
Whites were hired at a 3% rate, Asian Pacific Islanders at a 6% rate, Hispanics at a 3%
rate and no Native Americans were hired. The EEO compliance office of MCCCD
reviewed the search files and found that MCCCD search procedures were followed,
that documented job-related reasons were used to justify the hiring decisions, and that
was no disparate treatment occurred.
D. Promotion Rates By Type, Faculty/Employee Group, Gender, Race, and Ethnicity
MCCCD has not established a formal definition of a ―promotion.‖ For the purposes of this analysis and
in order to be able to appropriately respond to requests from the OFCCP for promotion data, a
―promotion‖ has been defined as ―any employment action that upgrades an employee‘s title, status or
pay.‖ MCCCD‘s records indicate that promotions meeting this definition occur through internal postings,
external postings, reclassifications, administrative reassignments, and temporary reassignments.
Using this definition, 245 employees were promoted during the period of October 1, 2009 through
September 30, 2010. 173 (71%) of the employees who were promoted during the period were women
and 72 (29%) were men. Women constitute approximately 59% of MCCCD‘s workforce and men 41%.
150 (61%) of the promoted employees were White and 95 (39%) were members of federal government
defined minority groups, including 62 (25%) Hispanics, 20 (8%) African Americans, 6 (2%) APIs, and 7
(3%) Native Americans. The District workforce is comprised of 69% Whites, 19% Hispanics, 6% African
Americans, 4% Asian Pacific Islanders, and 2% Native Americans.
This data indicates that, during the period October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010 there were no
statistically significant differences in overall promotion rates for any minorities, women or racial/ethnic
group for whom reporting is required by current federal recordkeeping regulations.
1. Competitive Promotions
a. Internal Postings
62 (25%) of the 245 promoted employees used MCCCD‘s internal posting procedures.
These promotions occurred in 39 distinct job titles. All but one of these promotions
occurred in the MAT and PSA employee groups. 43 (69 %) of the employees who were
promoted using MCCCD‘S internal posting process were women and 19 (31%) were
men. 34 (55%) were non-minorities, 6 (10%) of the employees were African American,
1(2%) was Asian Pacific Islanders, 19 (31%) were Hispanic and 2 (3%) were Native
American. Although data on the gender and race of the other internal applicants for these
openings is not available, there is no statistical or other indication that either gender or
any racial/ethnic groups were adversely impacted during this time period by MCCCD‘s
internal posting process.
b. External Postings
18 (7%) of the 245 promoted employees waited for the external posting period to apply
for promotions in 17 distinct titles that represented 2 executive, 3 faculty, 4 MAT, and 9
PSA titles. 14 (78%) of the employees who were promoted were women and 4 (22%)
were men. 10 (56%) were non-minorities and 8 were members of minority groups
17
2011 MCCCD AAP
including 2 (11%) Asian Pacific Islanders and 6 (33%) Hispanics. No African American
or Native American employees were promoted using this process.
Current MCCCD employees who apply through the external posting process are
considered external applicants. The adverse impact analyses on hiring/applicants
discussed earlier indicated no adverse impact for Native Americans and no adverse
impact for African Americans except in the Middle PSA group. The EEO compliance
office of MCCCD will conduct detailed reviews of the Middle PSA searches to ensure
the MCCCD search procedures were followed, that documented job-related reasons were
used to justify the hiring decisions, and that was no disparate treatment occurred.
2. Promotions without competition
166 (67%) promotions were made without competition. 22 were reclassifications, 49
administrative reassignments, 7 were reorganizations, and 87 were temporary reassignments.
a. Reclassifications
22 reclassifications were made without formal competition in MAT and PSA. 13 (60%)
of the employees who were reclassified were women and 9 (40%) were men. 7 (31%)
were members of minority groups, including 4 (18%) Hispanics, 2 (10%) African
Americans and 1(5%) Asian Pacific Islander. No Native American employees were
reclassified.
There is no statistically significant indicator that females or minorities (collectively or
individual groups) were adversely impacted by MCCCD‘s reclassification practices
during this time period.
b. Administrative Reassignments
49 administrative reassignments were made without formal competition in 36 separate
job titles that included 1 executive position and 35 MAT and PSA job titles. 41 (84%) of
the employees who were administratively reassigned during the time period were women
and 9 (16%) were men. 32 (65%) were White, 4 (8%) were African American, 12 (25%)
were Hispanics, 1 (2%) Native American, and none were Asian Pacific Islanders.
There is no statistically significant indicator that females or minorities (collectively or
individual groups) adversely impacted by MCCCD‘s administrative reassignment
practices during this time period.
c. Temporary Reassignments
87 temporary reassignments were made without formal competition. 57 (66%) of the
employees who were temporarily reassigned during the time period were women and 30
(34%) were men. Of the temporarily reassigned employees 56 (64%) were White, 6 (7%)
African American, 20 (23%) Hispanics, 4 (5%) Native Americans and 1 (1%) Asian
Pacific Islanders.
There is no statistically significant indicator that females or minorities (collectively or
individual groups) were adversely impacted by MCCCD‘s temporary reassignment
practices during this time period.
18
2011 MCCCD AAP
d. Reorganizations
7 employees were promoted through a Reorganization process. 5 (71%) of the
employees were women and 2 (29%) were men. Of the employees were reorganized, 3
(43%) were White women, 4 (57%) were minorities, 2 (29%) African American, 1
(14%) Asian Pacific Islanders, 1 (14%) Hispanics and none were Native Americans.
There were so few reorganizations that making any conclusions about adverse impact
would be statistically inappropriate.
E. Termination/Retention Rates By Type, Gender, Race, and Ethnicity
243 employees were separated during the period of October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010 of who
141 (58%) were women and 102 (42%) were men. Women constitute approximately 59% of MCCCD‘s
total workforce and men 41%. There was so significant difference in the retention rate between men and
women.
169 (70%) of the separated employees were non-minorities, 74 (30%) of the separated employees were
members of minority groups. 18 (7%) were African Americans, 37 (15%) were Hispanics, 9 (4%) were
Native Americans and 10 (4%) were Asian Pacific Islanders.
The separation rate was 6% for minorities, 6% for African Americans, 5% for Hispanics, 11% for Native
Americans, and 6% for Asian Pacific Islanders. Although the differences during this one year period
were not statistically significant, Native Americans had the highest separation/lowest retention rate of any
of the race and ethnics groups for whom reporting is required for a second year in a row.
1. Voluntary Separations
233 (96%) out of the 243 separation were voluntary of whom 139 (57%) were women, 94
(39%) were men. 69 (29%) were minorities including 17 (7%) African Americans, 33 (14%)
Hispanics, 9 (4%) Native Americans, and 10 (4%) Asian Pacific Islanders. 133 (57%) left for
personal reasons, 86 (37%) retired, 6 (3%) left for health reasons and 8 (3%) passed away.
Analyses indicate an adverse impact in the voluntary separation of 6 African Americans (3
College Safety, 2 Executives and 1 Athletic Specialist), and 3 Native Americans (1 Upper
MAT, 1 Upper M&O, 1 Residential Faculty). However, further analyses revealed 5 of the
African Americans left for personal reasons and one left for health reasons. All 3 of the
Native American employees retired.
Further analyses show the voluntary separation rate of women was 5%, 5% for Whites, 6% for
African Americans, 4% for Hispanics, 11% for Native Americans, and 6% for Asian Pacific
Islanders. Using the 80% rule, the only group that was adversely impacted was the Native
American group. This is the second year the voluntary separation rate of Native Americans
was significantly higher than the other groups. Continued monitoring of this should occur.
2. Involuntary Separations
10 of the separations were involuntary. 2 (20%) were female and 8 (80%) were male (5 of the
involuntary separated males were from the Maintenance and Operations group). 5 (50%)
Whites, 4 (40%) Hispanics, and 1 (10%) African American. Two of the separations were short-
term employees (1 Black male and 1 White female) separated due to the end of the assignment
and not for performance or conduct reasons.
19
2011 MCCCD AAP
While an adverse impact was found with the separation of the Black male from the Middle PSA
group, it should be noted that the separation was not due to performance issues and that the
overall number of separations is so small that statistical results should not be viewed as
conclusive.
F. Analysis of Compensation Policies, Procedures and Practices
MCCCD‘s internal analysis of its compensation policies, procedures, and practices confirmed that, as in
the compensation process used by the federal government, compensation for all MCCCD employees is
based on a grid system with Grade on the vertical axis and steps on the horizontal. Grade is based on the
job title and Steps are based on very detailed guidelines for experience and education. Below is an
example of a grid:
All employees in the same grade and step are paid the same amount. There is very little discretion or
difference in salary placement (especially since the salaries are calculated by the District Office
Employment staff rather than the hiring body). Thus, there is a very little possibility that either gender or
any race/ethnic group is being paid less than other similarly situated employees. Although employee
group policy manuals allow for exceptions for newly hired employees, these exceptions to salary have
been rare and must be approved by the Chancellor, Vice Chancellor or College President. In terms of
salary increases, every year (if budget is approved by the Governing Board), each employee receives an
additional step and/or COLA.
G. Personnel Procedures
MCCCD‘s review of its written personnel procedures confirmed that
its recruitment actions have been systematically designed and implemented to ensure diverse
applicant and candidate pools;
its selection procedures ensure that all applicants who meet its objective job-related minimum
advertised qualifications are treated consistently with all others;
that job related reasons for selections and non-selections are documented and reviewed;
that internal applicants for posted openings are given genuine equal opportunity based on their
qualifications, performance, and abilities; and
and that employees are not discriminated against with regard to retention opportunities.
Currently, there is not a competitive process for the selection of adjunct faculty to ensure
nondiscriminatory hiring and provide equal employment opportunity. However, during the Summer and
Fall of 2010, an ad hoc committee has been working on designing a competitive process. The first phase
of this process—a common pool—will roll out in the 2011-2012 academic year. The second phase will
be designed and implemented in soon thereafter.

Recordkeeping deficiencies;
1. Adjunct selection pool – Data on the available pool of adjuncts is not yet available or
considered in the current analyses. A competitive process for adjunct faculty selection has not
yet to be established.
2. Non-competitive promotions (temporary and permanent reassignments) – Data on the
availability pool of promotable/transferable minorities and women has not yet been calculated
or considered for any of its employee groups, as required by the regulations at 41 CFR 60-2.11,
due to the non-competitive nature of the reassignment process.
3. Temporary employees – Data on temporary employees are not yet available or considered in
the current analyses.
How these recordkeeping deficiencies will be corrected can be found in Section VII.B.
Responsibility/Accountability:
Currently, MCCCD offers training for managers on legal issues (EEO, discrimination, sexual
harassment, etc.), non-discriminatory hiring process (―Hiring the Best‖), and general
management/supervisory issues. The majority of managers and hiring officials (including CEC)
have not yet participated in this training. The 2010 AAP recommended mandatory legal issues
training for all managers. An online training module is being designed and will be implemented
in 2011. Managers are continually encouraged to attend Hire the Best training and general
management/supervisory training.
SECTION VI. ACTION ORIENTED PROGRAMS 2009-2010 During 2010, MCCCD‘s officials updated the 2010 affirmative action program to comply with the current
regulations set forth at 41 CFR 60-2, established applicant, hire, promotion, separation, and compensation
recordkeeping procedures and mechanisms that will enable it conduct the adverse impact determinations and other
self analyses required by the OFCCP ‗s current regulations, and continued to take significant results oriented actions
to promote inclusion and fairness. During 2009-2010, these actions included but were not limited to:
A. Employee Recruitment for 2009 - 2010
1. Web and Printed Materials
Published quarterly print ads in national diversity publications- Diversity in Higher Education
(formerly Blacks in Higher Education) and Hispanic Outlook.

3. Faculty-Specific Recruitment
The Faculty of Color Recruitment and Retention Committee was established several years ago. With
support from the Faculty Recruitment Coordinator, the FCRRC is working to increase representation
of Faculty of Color. Targeted recruitment strategies are being implemented to increase the number of
applications. The following projects occurred in 2010:
Full schedule of recruitment at various conferences in fall and spring, including Society for
Advancing Hispanics/Chicanos & Native Americans in Science (SACNAS), Hispanic Association
of Colleges & Universities (HACU), National Indian Education Association (NIEA), International
reading Convention (IRA), Western Region Council on Black American Affairs (WRCBAA), and
National Black Graduate Student Association (NBGSA). American Association of Hispanics in
Higher Education (AAHHE), Asian Pacific Americans in Higher Education (APAHE),
Site visit to University of New Mexico (Albuquerque, NM), New Mexico State University (Las
Cruces, NM), University of Texas at El Paso, and El Paso Community College (El Paso, TX).
Site visit to University of California, Los Angeles, California State University, Fullerton,
California State University, Los Angeles, and Los Angeles Community College.
Met with MCCD constituency groups to discuss role of Faculty Recruitment Coordinator
Visits to all Maricopa colleges to speak with local faculty and administration in regards to the
program.
FCRRC’s search committee pilot protocol was finalized. It consisted of implementing
changes to District-wide Human Resources policy, namely, all committee members take Hiring the Best, review the planned hiring video, craft job descriptions informed by best practices to ensure a diverse candidate pool, and review area, campus, and discipline specific demographic data prior to reviewing applicant pool. While there was near universal agreement on all steps in FCRRC’s process, District Legal stopped the pilot’s implementation out of concern that the use of demographic data at any point in the hiring process represented too much legal exposure for the District. As a result, the pilot program will be reviewed again during academic year 2010-2011.
Outcomes for 2009-2010:
Train new faculty recruiters.
Attend several conferences and visit sites with large number of potential faculty of color.
Expand database of potential applicants for teaching positions at Maricopa.
Expand database of potential resources that target diverse faculty for advertising
Visit to all colleges to speak with local faculty and administration in regards to the program
Develop training video for hiring committees to be completed by Dec. 2010
Initial steps in creation of Ethnic Studies Instructional Council as tool for attracting and retaining
faculty committed to cultural relevant curriculum and teaching
The FCRRC will present the proposed search committee pilot (discussed above) to select
department chairs, each college‘s VPAA, FEC, CEC, and the relevant Vice-Chancellors in
preparation for submission to the Chancellor. This final review will be in the interest of
addressing District Legal‘s concerns regarding the introduction of demographic data prior to
the review of any applications in the hopes that Legal‘s concerns can be addressed, and that
FCRRC will be able to demonstrate a district-wide interest in diversity discussions being a
component part of the hiring process.

5. Growing Our Own
Designed and implemented ―Movin‘ On Up‖, a workshop for current MCCCD staff on how to
apply for MCCCD positions.
A Talent Management program was begun in 2008 and continued through 2010. It is a system-
wide initiative that builds a pipeline of talent so that when opportunities become available, current
and potential employees are recruited and selected to fit the needs of MCCCD. The goal of Talent
Management is to help our internal candidates be more competitive when positions are open and
to strengthen the leadership of those who are currently employed at Maricopa.
Program Highlights for 2009-2010:
• Executive Leadership Program -- first cohort (14) completed first phase of the
program.
• Executive Team Development inaugurated at two colleges.
• Leadership Advancement Program Pilot successfully concluded and advanced from
pilot phase. 30 participants completed Leadership Advancement Program Pilot –
several of which have successful applied for and received promotional opportunities.
B. Programs to Engage Internal and External Diverse Communities
1. Chancellor’s Community Advisory Councils
Five Community Advisory Committees (CAC's) meet regularly with the Chancellor to strengthen
community relationships, exchange information and develop collaborative strategies to ensure that the
needs and concerns of these communities are being addressed. They include CAC's for the African
American, Asian/Pacific Islander, Latino, Native American and Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender
(GLBT) communities.
2. Diversity Initiatives
The Diversity Initiatives Office
The goal of the Diversity Initiatives Office is to continue to integrate diversity and inclusiveness into the
fabric of Maricopa. This will be accomplished through the following strategies:
o Maintain and expand communications
o Support training opportunities within DAC and throughout Maricopa
o Expand influence with key committees, work groups, etc.
o Continue to develop strategic diversity plan.
Diversity Initiatives is the overarching structure for Maricopa‘s diversity and inclusiveness efforts. In addition to
providing support to the Diversity Advisory Council and its individual partner members including the Diversity
23
2011 MCCCD AAP
Coordinators, Diversity Initiatives interfaces with other related functional areas in the organization, provides
information, consultation, research and reports to maintain and enhance Maricopa‘s diversity and inclusiveness
work. A highlight this year has been continuing to work with an ad hoc committee to explore and make
recommendations regarding the climate and support for employees with disabilities.
• Recognizing effective diversity and inclusiveness efforts throughout Maricopa through DAC‘s fourth
annual Awards of Excellence on May 3, 2010.
• Continued participation in the Healing Racism Project, a collaboration with the City of Phoenix, ASU, City
of Tempe and Maricopa County to promote healthy conversation on the subject of race, racism and race
relations. Due to time and budget constraints the committee chose to offer two events in 2009 - 2010
addressing Race and Health in America (October 15, 2009) and Black and Brown: Building Bridges Part II
(November 21, 2010).
• Continued communication and awareness efforts through the Expressions newsletter and management of
the diversity website. The newsletter was converted to a blog format.
• Continued work with an ad hoc committee to explore and make recommendations regarding the climate
and support for employees with disabilities. Committee developed by-laws and a proposal for constituency
group status.
• Development and approval (by the Chancellor, CEC and Legal Departments) of Guidelines for
Constituency Group organization and functioning at MCCCD.
• Developed a partnership with the Diversity Leadership Alliance to provide awareness and education to
business, education, government, professional and youth communities regarding diversity and
inclusiveness.
• Served on the City of Phoenix Community Police Relations Committee representing MCCCD in
developing effective strategies to improve community relations.
• Participated in the development and implementation of a SafeSpace training of trainers program for
students (participants from PVCC, GCC and PC). Included development of curriculum, assistance in
delivery of a COM course and support to student facilitators.
• Development of a Constituency Group Leadership project including a leadership training day designed by
and delivered by constituency group leadership. (Delivery delayed until July/Aug 2010.)
• Participation in Chancellor‘s Community Advisory Councils.
Diversity Advisory Council The Diversity Advisory Council represents all ten colleges, constituency and policy groups, and employees engaged
in diversity-related work. It provides recommendations, coordination and direction for Maricopa‘s diversity efforts.
This year the Diversity Advisory Council continued work on the Diversity Strategic Plan, hosted the third Diversity
Awards Recognition Event, and continued to explore hiring and advancement at Maricopa.
Diversity Strategic Plan:
DAC developed a Diversity Strategic Plan to provide longer-term structure, coordination and focus for
diversity. The plan directly responds to the Chancellor‘s three pillars, student success, stewardship and One
Maricopa, as well as continuing to be conscious of the district‘s strategic directions. The Strategic
Planning Team began by considering seven outcomes that would exist if we had an inclusive environment
at Maricopa.
• All students, faculty and staff accept responsibility for creating and maintaining an inclusive
environment.
• All students, faculty and staff are respected for their intrinsic value and worth.
• All students, faculty and staff trust they will be treated fairly.
• Faculty, staff and students reflect the diversity of our communities throughout the colleges and
levels of the organization.
• All students, faculty and staff succeed without disparities based on physical, social, economic or
political characteristics.
• Constituency groups working collaboratively are primary resources to the organization.

Diversity Advisory Council Subcommittee
The Diversity Advisory Council subcommittee on employee hiring and advancement convened DAC
members and invited guests to review data related to hiring and advancement. The goal of the committee is
to identify trends and make any appropriate recommendations to DAC and ultimately HR.
Diversity coordinators
The ten colleges, Maricopa Skill Center and DSSC are represented on the council by diversity coordinators.
The designated coordinators address diversity issues in addition to their regular job responsibilities. They
promote awareness and communication on diversity and inclusiveness at their colleges, serve on college
diversity committees and advocate for diversity and inclusiveness to be embedded in all efforts at their
colleges/sites.
In 2009 - 2010, the Diversity Coordinators addressed clarifying the role of diversity coordinators so that
there was a more standardized expectation of the work and role. College presidents were interviewed and
data was gathered. Next steps will be addressed in the upcoming year.
In addition to the work that was accomplished as a group, each Diversity Coordinator also had
responsibilities to their own college or site, including providing a summary report of activities to DAC.
Among their accomplishments, every college offered a multitude of activities for students, faculty, staff and
community members. Many of these activities were the result of collaboration with other individuals and
groups including International Students, Student Life and Leadership, student clubs, staff and faculty
development programs, etc. Examples from many of the colleges are listed below.
Chandler-Gilbert Community College created opportunities to engage in or think critically about a wide
range of diversity issues through presentations, movies and simulation activities, to build community on the
CGCC campus and challenge people to broaden their notion of community. Due to the earthquake in Haiti
plus the choice of the book, ―Mountains Beyond Mountains‖ as CGCC‘s common book, many events
focused on issues of development, justice, and globalization.
Estrella Mountain Community College continues to address diversity although its Diversity Core Values
Committee is in hiatus. In addition to student and community focused programming for the various heritage
months, EMCC used visual arts as a medium to address diversity, addressed gender identity issues,
enhanced their library and media resources and continued work on professional growth and development
for faculty and staff through the Genographic Project.
Glendale Community College‘s diversity committee continued to develop its role to support events on
campus by assisting with advertising and other marketing efforts to meet the needs of students, faculty and
staff regarding diversity awareness and participation. This year the committee had greater contact with
more groups on campus whose focus is on inclusiveness and diversity. GCC noted that they had more
international students on campus this year than ever before.
Maricopa Skill Center focused this year on enhancing Disability services, and specifically enrollment. This
became the focus of representatives from many of our departments that service students and their
collaboration has fostered success for students with disabilities at MSC. MSC now has a process in place
to communicate the needs of these students interdepartmentally for student success, and the number of
students with disabilities served has increased from 28 last FY to 150.
Mesa Community College expanded their Inclusive Excellence committee and focused on the re-
envisioning of both quality and diversity to reflect excellence in higher education. They continue to
institutionalize diversity and inclusiveness throughout the college environment utilizing a mix of bottom up
grassroots approach and top down strategic guidance. Activities included: movies, presentations,
conferences and activities for students, faculty, staff and community including an open-mic event,
fundraising dance and a day of service. MCC also upgraded their diversity website.
Phoenix College combined its diversity committee with its international education committee this year
resulting in a wide range of educational opportunities both on and off the campus for faculty, students and
staff to learn about international issues and topics on diversity through the identification of training
25
2011 MCCCD AAP
opportunities, the monitoring of campus culture and climate, the dissemination of information through a
variety of formats and a shared understanding of diversity and inclusiveness. Activities were sponsored by
International Education, NAACP/BSU, Mecha and other organizations.
Paradise Valley Community College held a student forum to obtain feedback on the college environment
for students from different backgrounds. A collaboration with the Fine Arts department resulted in a
powerful and very well received program in which students presented vignettes followed by group
discussion. Students also organized a job fair as part of a response to poverty.
Rio Salado College inclusiveness committee hosted 20 diversity brown bag lunches and other events this
year for 526 people. 27 employees were awarded Inclusiveness icons for attendance at Inclusiveness
events (almost twice as many as the year before). This year the inclusiveness committee also addressed
social sustainability and encouraged community service. Over 2,000 volunteer hours were logged by Rio
employees.
Scottsdale Community College‘s diversity committee continues to report directly to the college president.
SCC continued its Many Faces of Hate Film Series in collaboration with the Anti-Defamation League.
Based on research from SCC students, the diversity committee has designed a proposal for a student
success center (in development). Other efforts included the Conversation Partners Program (with
International Education), clubs, diversity training for faculty and staff and travel abroad.
The District Office diversity committee met several times over the year to look at collaborative activities
with Rio Salado‘s Inclusiveness committee. They proposed ideas for hosting safe conversations about
difficult issues and supporting Rio‘s book club. The book club continues to provide quarterly opportunities
to discuss books selected by the group. The District Office‘s diversity committee is currently in hiatus.
3. Constituency Groups
Maricopa‘s constituency groups are a key element in promoting diversity initiatives in the district and the
community. Maricopa‘s constituency groups provide a voice for specific constituencies among Maricopa
employees and students. All the groups share an overarching goal to ensure equity and opportunity for
Maricopa employees and students, while their individual areas of focus range from scholarships for
students to hiring and advancement practices to policy changes. They are a valuable resource for
information, perspectives and connections within Maricopa.
Maricopa‘s constituency groups serve on the Diversity Advisory Council and are consulted by the
Chancellor in conjunction with the Chancellor‘s Community Advisory Councils and/or as community or
institutional issues require.

and supervisory training to Maricopa faculty and staff. Key offerings include the MOSAIC training (Maximizing
Our Strengths as An Inclusive Community) which provides a shared framework of understanding and action related
27
2011 MCCCD AAP
to diversity at Maricopa (over 800 employees have participated), Safe Space Training -education on GLBTQ issues
(over 270 employees have participated), Preventing Sexual Harassment Training, MEET on Common Ground,
Communication Skills Boot Camp, Beyond Bias, Hiring the Best! For Maricopa, Yankoloba, Discovering Your
Diversity Profile, TeaMusic, Ouch! That Stereotype Hurts, Creating a Respectful Work Environment, The ADA,
and Employment Law Essentials as well as special requests from a variety of colleges and divisions.
A primary training on non-discriminatory hiring procedures is the ―Hiring the Best!‖ training. This training focuses
on best practices for hiring faculty and staff at MCCCD. Roles and responsibilities of selection committee
chairperson and members for conducting inclusive, equitable, and defensible processes are emphasized. Hiring cycle
procedures, techniques, and forms are covered. Hiring cycle phases presented for selecting the best candidate are:
preparation, screening, interviewing, and reference checking.
Maricopa Center for Learning and Instruction
MCLI provides a broad scope of learning opportunities targeted for faculty, but also open to interested staff and
community, to expand cross cultural understanding, develop and implement effective inclusive classroom strategies,
and increase professional capacities. Through Honors Forums, Dialogue Days, LearnShops. International and
Intercultural and Learning Grants, and Internship programs, thousands of individuals have increased their
knowledge and understanding and faculty have increased their capacity to be effective in the classroom to enhance
student success.
Diversity Infusion Program
The Diversity Infusion Program is one of the longest running diversity programs at Maricopa providing eleven years
of professional development to faculty to help them effectively infuse diversity concepts, perspectives, and practices
into their curricula and teach to an increasingly diverse student body. The Diversity Infusion Program provides
multiple services including the "Diversity Helpline,‖ a library collection of resources available to everyone, a
mentoring program, a student internship program, and much more.
Outcomes for 2009-2010: More than 170 different courses (representing more than 69 different course prefixes)
have been infused with diversity by the over 211 faculty who have participated in the Program since its inception.
The actual number of courses infused with diversity is much larger than this figure owing to two facts: 1) there is
replication in the courses that have been infused by faculty; and 2) after faculty leave the Program, they often
continue to infuse other courses they teach. In addition, over 90 students have participated since the beginning of
the Internship Program in 2000.
During the last academic year we updated and enhanced the services and materials offered by the Diversity Infusion
Program, allowing us to provide new educational experiences to both faculty and students. In addition, students in
the Program, in conjunction with their faculty mentors, worked on several wonderful diversity-related initiatives,
such as developing a presentation to increase awareness of the Lost Boys and Lost Girls of Sudan, creating an event
for refugee children, researching Vitamin D deficiency in Muslim women, creation of a presentation to focus on the
intersection of politics and gender, development of a presentation on American Sign Language, and other great
projects.
Healing Racism
Healing Racism is a series of community conversations about race relations in America today. It is a collaborative
project of MCCCD, ASU, City of Phoenix, Maricopa County and Phoenix College. Healing Racism is supported at
Maricopa in partnership with Diversity Initiatives. The topics presented this year were ―Race and Health in
America‖ and ―Black and Brown in America: Building Bridges Part II‖.

with MCCCD‘s affirmative action recruitment objectives, (i.e. applicant pools consistent with
estimated availability.
12. MCCCD will advise each college president of the results of its analyses of data on applicants,
hires, promotions, and retention.
B. 2011 Action Plan To Correct Recordkeeping Deficiencies
1. MCCCD was able to obtain the demographic data needed for this year‘s adjunct faculty and
took the first step toward establishing the first of its kind competitive process for hiring adjunct
faculty from a District-wide pool for adjunct applicants. MCCCD will continue to work to
complete the second step by designing a competitive process for hiring adjuncts in the 2011-
2012 academic year. This will enable a comparison of the adjunct hires to the applicant pool.
2. MCCCD will obtain and maintain accurate data on temporary employees on its payroll for
inclusion in future AAPs.
3. MCCCD will ensure all employees receive performance evaluations on a regular basis, that all
managers‘ performance evaluations address their implementation of their EEO responsibilities,
and that this data is included in PeopleSoft for analysis in future AAPs.
4. MCCCD will take action to review job titles to ensure consistency. For example, the title
―coordinator‖ will not be used for both MAT and PSA positions or used in several different
grades.
5. MCCCD will reduce non-competitive promotions.
31
2011 MCCCD AAP
6. MCCCD will formally evaluate progress made to correct recordkeeping problems no later than
June 10, 2011 and take appropriate additional actions to ensure that problems are corrected
within a specific minimally feasible time frame.
C. Action Plan In Response To 2009-2010 Personnel Activity Data
1. Recruitment
During the 2009-2010, MCCCD hired an individual whose responsibility is to recruit for faculty
and staff with emphasis placed on groups/communities listed in the 2010 AAP. In addition, the
Faculty of Color Recruitment and Retention Committee continued their recruitment efforts in
recruiting for minority faculty. With the information received for this 2011 AAP, these outreach
efforts will be continued and additional efforts will be made to recruit minority adjunct faculty
consistent with their estimated availability and to measure the results of these efforts.
2. Promotions
MCCCD College Presidents were advised that non-competitive promotions should be reduced.
This did not occur. In fact, the number of non-competitive promotions increased. Eliminating
reorganizations and reclassifications because these may not be actions that may not require
competitive processes, there were 136 permanent and temporary reassignments. Last year, there
were 125. There were some valid reasons for these higher numbers. Many vacant positions were
not being filled permanently with when an incumbent left due to hiring freezes at many of the
colleges. Thus, there may have been an increase in temporary reassignments. However, the
recommendation from the 2010 AAP was to conduct some type of competitive process to fill these
temporary reassignments. Many colleges have established such a process but some have not.
While it is unknown at this time how many of the following permanent and temporary
reassignments were filled competitively versus non-competitively, it appears 3 of the MCCCD sites
have high reassignment rates compared to the size of the institution and account for 59% of the
reassignments. The District Office had 34 (8% of staff), Rio had 28 (6% of staff), and SCC had 18
(5% of staff). All other site have 1%-3% rate. These sites should be cautioned by the Chancellor
and be monitored regularly.
Overall, MCCCD will take actions to reduce the number and proportions of non-competitive
promotion activity and will work with each college and the District Office to ensure that
appropriate affirmative actions are taken to ensure equal opportunity for reclassifications,
administrative reassignments, and temporary reassignments. During the current AAP year, the
Chancellor will reiterate this commitment to the chief executives of these sites, will systematically
monitored the chief executives regarding their commitment to EEO on a quarterly basis and the
results will be addressed in their performance evaluations.
3. Selections for Hires
Middle PSA, specifically two positions--Science Lab and the Photo Ceramic Lab Technicians—will be continually monitored this year to ensure equal opportunity for women. In addition, last year’s Middle PSA searches will be reviewed to ensure MCCCD search procedures, that job-
related reasons were used to justify the hiring decision and that no disparate treatment occurred
with African Americans applicants.
4. Competitive Adjunct Hiring
MCCCD established the first step toward a competitive process for hiring adjunct faculty--a
District-wide pool for adjunct applicants. MCCCD will continue to work on the second step by
32
2011 MCCCD AAP
designing a competitive process for hiring adjuncts and hope to have it completed by the Fall of
2011.
5. Accountability And Training
MCCCD has multiple programs to educate managers on personnel, affirmative action, and EEO
laws. With the direction given in the 2010 AAP, MCCCD is in the process of designing an online
training course that will be required of all supervisors/managers/administrators. Overall, MCCCD
will continue to take actions to ensure managers are trained in EEO fundamentals (i.e., hiring,
discrimination laws).
D. 2011 Action Plan to Address Other Areas Impacting The Success of This Program
MCCCD will formally assign responsibilities to its hiring officials, supervisors, and other employees with
management responsibilities, provide them with training, and develop and implement performance
standards, and hold them accountable in their performance evaluations for their compliance with
MCCCD‘s nondiscrimination, equal opportunity policies and procedures, and their implementation of
MCCCD‘s affirmative action program.
SECTION VIII. MONITORING AND REPORTING SYSTEMS
A. Monitoring Of Personnel Records
