In 2020, Durham Tech became one of the first community colleges in North Carolina to establish an Office of Equity and Inclusion, which is committed to valuing the unique experiences of individuals, the diversity of the community, and equitable outcomes for all students and employees.
Though the Office was established in 2020, the groundwork began in 2016 when College leadership began investing in reviewing and addressing specific inequities associated with lack of success for men of color.
Former President Dr. Bill Ingram recognized that current strategies were not sufficient or effective, so he proposed hiring someone that reports to the president, with greater authority and scope of duties to address issues systematically. Then-Senior Vice President Tom Jaynes, and members of the board of trustees, Gracie Johnson-Lopez and Tara Fikes, supported this strategy and Dr. Angela Davis was appointed to the position.
