Hudson County Community College is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.  Hudson County Community College is committed to the principles of affirmative action in the recruitment, admission, and retention of students and in the recruitment, employment, training, tenure, assignment, and separation of all faculty and staff.  In accordance with existing New Jersey statutes and Federal law, no person at the College shall be discriminated against on the basis of race, color, class, sex, religion, creed, age, lifestyle, disability, marital status, affectional or sexual orientation, ancestry, national origin, veteran status, or union membership.  Equal access to employment opportunities and educational programs is extended to all qualified persons. Decisions on employment are made on the basis of the qualifications of an individual for the particular position being filled. Specifications for any position must be related to the job to be performed.  Decisions on promotion and tenure are similarly made on the basis of the qualifications of an individual as they relate to the requirements of the position.  All personnel policies including those for compensation, benefits, transfers, and faculty and staff development programs are administered without regard to race, color, sex, religion, age, disability, national origin, or other protected status.  These policies apply to all employees and all applicants in every department of the College.  The College will employ affirmative action to meet its stated goals throughout the work force. HCCC’s goal is to maintain a satisfied and productive work force.  The key to this is effective leadership by supervisors; fair and non-discriminatory personnel policies and the application of these policies.  The College firmly adheres to the conviction that every employee has the right to be treated with dignity and respect.

In accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act (1990, as amended in 2008) and applicable state law, Hudson County Community College is committed to provide equal access to all individuals with disabilities.
