§ 72012 Community College Anti-Discrimination Compliance

Key Takeaways

  • •Community colleges must follow rules that say everyone should be treated fairly.
  • •No one should be treated badly because of things like their race, gender, or where they come from.
  • •The college has to make sure all students have the same chances to succeed.

Example

A student who uses a wheelchair signs up for a class on the second floor, but there’s no elevator.

The college has to fix this so the student can get to class just like everyone else. They can’t ignore it just because it’s hard or costs money.
