The Los Angeles Community College District is seeking to hire a Vice Chancellor for Educational Programs and Institutional Effectiveness who is student-centered, equity minded, culturally competent, and community oriented. The successful candidate will be committed to advancing the economic and social mobility of our students and the community we serve.

ABOUT THE DISTRICT

The Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD) is the largest community college district in the United States and one of the largest in the world. Headed by a Chancellor and governed by an elected Board of Trustees, the Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD) is one of the nation’s largest community college districts serving the residents of more than 36 cities and communities in an almost 900-square mile area within Los Angeles County. An average of about 230,000 full- and part-time students per year are educated at LACCD, and LACCD is proud to be the leading educator of Latino and African American students in California. LACCD educates nearly twice as many Latino and African American students as all of the University of California campuses combined. Additionally, the District serves a substantial population of first-generation students, AB540 and undocumented students, students with disabilities, former foster care students and students who are either currently active in the military or military veterans, all of whom further enrich our vibrant community. LACCD also became a founding member of the California Community College Equity Leadership Alliance. Through this Alliance, the LACCD will deploy a framework for racial equity and social justice to make structural and permanent change to root out the ill effects of racism and bias from the classrooms and workplace and move forward towards a more socially and racially just academic environment.
