Diversity and Equity Officers Commission (DEOC)
About Us
The strong emergence of executive-level equity officers across many of our colleges helped to establish the first Diversity and Equity Officers Commission (DEOC), a formal statewide collective that meets regularly throughout the year and reports directly to the Washington Association of Community and Technical Colleges (WACTC)- Presidents group. The DEOC works to advance racial equity and establishes goals to address power, privilege, and oppression, both within the CTC system and at each of the individual colleges.
The equity department works to center the expertise and intellect of the DEOC and lends ongoing support and guidance as they continue to grow as a group.
