As community colleges continue to reach record enrollment growth, organizational planning that encompasses diversity will be a key component to serving the needs of changing campus communities. This article explores diversity planning as an integral component of institutional effectiveness in responding to the changing demographics within community colleges. The author explores five steps to developing and implementing a diversity plan within these institutions.
