In December 2003, The Board of Directors and the college community believe that certain fundamental values characterize the institution in which we work and guide us in the accomplishment of this mission. These values are:
The dignity and worth of each individual
Effective teaching
Educational and personal growth of the individual
Open and honest communication
Teamwork and cooperation
An environment that encourages the expression of original ideas and creative solutions
Effective and ethical use of public funds.
In addition, the Board believes that the college should be a good steward of the environment, engaging in energy-saving and environmental performance improvement strategies to the greatest extent possible.
In December 2006, PCC's Board of Directors established the following policy: Portland Community College is committed to becoming a leader in academic programs and operational practices that model the sustainable use of resources, so that the needs of current generations are met without impairing the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The policy can be found here: http://www.pcc.edu/about/administration/board/policies/b707.html
In January 2004, PCC's Board of Directors passed the following policy: The college "living wage" policy expresses the intent of the Board that individuals employed through contractual agreements to provide certain services to the college receive a total hourly compensation (hourly wages plus hourly benefits package cost) which is not less than the federal poverty guideline for a family unit of four.
This policy shall apply to employees of contractors engaged by the college to provide custodial and public safety patrols at facilities wholly owned by the college. This policy does not apply to individuals employed by the contractor or the college through a Qualified Rehabilitation Facility, or on a temporary or substitute basis. The policy does not apply to individual employees of an otherwise covered contractor who are in a benefits eligibility waiting period.
The College President shall develop and maintain procedures to implement this policy.
