LGBTQIA+ Liaison

In 2011, the California legislature passed AB 620, the Equal Access in Higher Education Act. This landmark legislation included a provision that directed campuses in all three public branches of higher education to designate a contact person for LGBTQ+ issues for all community members (students, faculty, staff, and administrators). Enshrined in California Education Code Section 66271.2, the law requires information about this contact to be, at a minimum, published on the institution’s website. In 2024, the legislature further affirmed and strengthened this law with SB 1491, which establishes additional requirements and guidance for community colleges about this role.

The following individual is Chaffey College’s designated resource employee/contact:

Albert Rodriguez, Ed.D.

Executive Director of Student Life, Equity, and Engagement

  • AB 620, also known as the Equality and Equal Access in Higher Education Act, was signed into California law in 2011.
  • The act requires community colleges, CSUs, and UCs to adopt and publish policies on harassment, intimidation and bullying. It also requires each college to designate an employee at each of their respective campuses as a point of contact to address the needs of LGBT faculty, staff and students. The law also revises the definition of gender to include “gender expression” for purposes of the Equity in Higher Education Act. All students have the right to a welcoming, inclusive campus atmosphere, and AB 620 helps to protect that right.
Title IX is a federal law that bans discrimination and sexual harassment based on sex, sexuality, and gender identity. Chaffey College has designated Title IX Coordinators at each campus.
