The College actively seeks racial, gender, and ethnic diversity in the faculty, staff, and students, and provides equal opportunities for women and minorities at all levels within the institution. The College is not only committed to equal employment opportunity in employment, but to a program of multicultural education involving cultural and ethnic diversity among all constituents of the College community.

Nondiscrimination has long been a matter of policy and principle at Occidental.
