In keeping with the philosophy of intellectual freedom, the Community College District supports the rights of faculty, staff and students to speak freely on matters of public concern and provides extra-curricular opportunities that represent varying points of view in support of student attainment of course objectives and recognition of educational principles. The public is invited to the majority of events that are offered as part of the  community’s educational program.

Art Exhibitions that routinely occur in a number of District venues including the City College Art Gallery located on the Ocean Campus showcase the art of professionals and students and whose content ranges from the apolitical to commentary on political, economic, and racial disparities that exist in our society.

Library Exhibitions, Programs and Exhibitions Blogs

Library exhibits reach out from the realm of the idea embedded in literate media, to the free expression of ideas by embracing the artifact and image. Library programs explore ideas and expand on the extra-curricular circulation of ideas freely in a community of teachers and  learners. Exhibition blogs bring to the broader community, and the world, a reflection of the thoughts and culture of the institution, and the ideas which stimulate thought and understanding there.
