Our College's 900 employees, with close to 600 faculty, hold themselves accountable for the academic success of disproportionately impacted student populations.

We are steadfast in our hiring practices and staff development processes which reinforce the goals of equal opportunity, diversity, and inclusion.

Our practices and processes also support the importance of a workforce that reflects the community and the diverse student population we serve.

Río Hondo College employs approximately 55% tenured track faculty of color; 60% part-time faculty of color; 85% classified staff of color; and 50% administrators of color.
