We strive to ensure that inclusion, diversity, equity, accessibility, and the well-being of our diverse community are embedded and inseparable from institutional excellence.
Our Framework
Leadership and Accountability in Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (LA IDEA)
The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Framework (LA IDEA) arises from the College’s Strategic Plan 2020-2024 focusing on Student Success, Community Success, and Organizational Excellence and Innovation, and outlines strategies for advancing inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility at CNM. The LA IDEA framework identifies viable short- and long-term institutional goals to move us toward inclusive excellence.
