PENINSULA COLLEGE'S COMMITMENT TO
EQUITY

Peninsula College is committed to fostering an inclusive campus community where every student and employee has
access to the support and resources they need to succeed. We believe that respect, connection, and belonging are essential to learning and
working well together.

Our Equity Standing Committee, with representation from across the college, guides ongoing work to review
policies, practices, and professional learning to support equitable access and student and employee success. We collaborate with campus
partners on continuous improvement toward a learning and working environment where everyone can thrive.

Redacted Review
Hiring Process

At Peninsula College, we are committed to a fair and unbiased hiring process. To support this commitment, we
use an application redaction process. Before your materials are reviewed by the screening committee, certain personal identifying details
such as your name, the names of schools or organizations you attended, and affiliations that could unintentionally signal identity are
removed. This helps reviewers focus on your skills, experience, and qualifications.

We encourage applicants to review their resumes
and cover letters before submitting to ensure that your experience and accomplishments remain clear after redaction. If your materials rely
on institution names or affiliations to explain your role, you may wish to describe the work and outcomes in your own words, so the impact
is still visible to the screening committee.

Our goal is to support a hiring process that is consistent, equitable, and centered on
the strengths you bring.
