PCC股权和访问声明

皮马社区学院每天都在努力为每一个目标赋予每一个学习者权力. Embedded within that mission statement is a commitment to equity, equitable practice, and access.

公平与平等不同. Equality is understood as the proportional distribution or parity of desirable outcomes across groups; while, 公平是指结果和过程的公平和公正. 而平等意味着向所有人提供同样的东西, equity means recognizing that we do not all start from the same place and must acknowledge and make adjustments to imbalances. The process is ongoing, requiring us to identify and overcome intentional and unintentional barriers arising from bias or systemic structures.

获得教育是通过将资源投入服务来实现的, programs, 以及为所有学生提供机会的行为. Allocation to groups is not taking away or creating special status to some areas but is driven by equitable practice to ensure that what is needed to remove the barriers to access is achieved. 学院致力于监测, using data, and ensuring that resource allocation is adjusted to meet the ongoing access changes in the community using the principles of equity.

Pima Community College is committed through its inclusive transformation to emphasize equity in all aspects of its work with students, employees, and the community. The AACU, 美国高等院校协会, (2015) highlights specific actions to work toward equity-minded outcomes for students.

See: http://www.aacu.org/sites/default/files/StepUpLeadEquity.pdf (pages 25-26). 学院的努力与AACU推荐的所有10项战略保持一致.

Pronouns and Identifiers

Pronouns are important because they allow us to communicate professionally and accurately, 它们使我们能够识别文化和个人标识符, and are an important part of gender identity and how we show respect for those identities. 人们可能会参考传统的美式英语方法来使用代词, but not all of our students, staff, 社区成员也不完全认同这种方法. 以促进对个人和文化认同的尊重, 对我们来说，正确使用个人对应的代词是很重要的. We cannot rely solely on names, how we may perceive their gender, nor the assumptions of others. 唯一知道的方法是问别人，对我们来说，告诉别人我们的代词.

As noted on Pronouns.Org, 传统美式英语中的男性代词是he/him/his, 传统美式英语中的女性代词是she/her/hers. Traditional American English also uses But there are other options for pronouns that people may prefer when the traditional pronouns don’t feel right. 这些被称为中性代词或性别包容性代词. Gender inclusive pronouns can seem awkward or unfamiliar and it can be challenging at times to recall a preferred pronoun. That is why it is important to include pronoun identifiers in various types of communication. 越用越舒服.

Pronoun usage matters, 它证实了你对个人的尊重, their culture, and their identity. It promotes inclusion, supports a sense of belonging, 为学生和员工创造更公平的工作和学习空间.

给员工和学生的建议

• Share your pronouns. 它打破了障碍，承认你尊重他人的代词. 在你的电子邮件签名中添加自己的代词, your Zoom nametag, introductions, 并将它们包含在你的教学大纲/网页中.
• 问问别人的代词或者他们希望别人怎么称呼他们. 有些人甚至更喜欢医生、教授或类似的标识符. 问是打开理解之门的第一把钥匙.
• 在写作中避免使用二元代词，尝试使用非二元术语. For example, use terms like “class”, “students”, 或者“每个人”会比“女士们先生们”更具包容性, “guys”, etc.
