THE COLLEGE - History

Back 4

"Chaffey College represents the vision of George
and William Chaffey, who founded the City of
Ontario in the last quarter of the nineteenth century.
Recognizing the need for an institution of
higher learning, the Chaffey brothers donated
land and established an endowment for a private
college known as the Chaffey College of
Agriculture. On March 17, 1883, the cornergrating stone of the college was laid at Fourth Street
and Euclid Avenue in Ontario. Due to meager
financial resources, the college became an
extension of the University of Southern California
and then closed for a brief period in the early
1900’s. In 1906 the Chaffey endowment was
legally separated from the University of Southern
California and the reorganized Chaffey
Union High School District became the beneficiary
of the College Trust.
In 1916 the Chaffey Junior College of Agriculture
was added as a postgraduate department
to the high school. A separate junior college district
was created in 1922 and in 1957 bonds were approved in support of a complete separation
of the high school and college facilities.
Property was acquired in Alta Loma and a longanticipated
new college opened its doors in the
spring of 1960. Passage of Measure L ($230
million) in 2002 is enabling the college to construct
and renovate a number of buildings on
the Rancho Cucamonga, Chino, and Fontana
Campuses."

STUDENT EQUITY

one of the foregoing characteristics through the
implementation of the goals and objectives of
the Student Equity Plan. Being sensitive to the
personal, professional, and aesthetic needs of
its diverse populations and cultures, the college
will incorporate into its educational process the
richness of world cultures, languages, ethnicities,
and artistic pluralism that is strongly represented
within our community.
We commit to respecting, celebrating, and intecornergrating
student’s diverse cultures into all phases
of campus life. We will provide leadership in creating
a climate to ensure that all students, faculty,
staff, and administrators share in the implementation
of Chaffey College’s equity goals."

courses to provide all students with an awareness
of the cultural diversity of our nation and
the world.
Transfer programs are designed to meet the
lower division requirements of four-year colleges
and universities and to develop the skills
essential to success in upper division courses.
General education courses are articulated with
comparable university courses to assist
students in meeting transfer requirements.
These courses introduce students to a variety of academic disciplines and acquaint them with
the assumptions and theoretical bases fundamental
to each discipline.
Occupational programs are continually updated
to reflect current industry requirements. Interaction
with community leaders, advisory committees,
and with business, industry and public
service organizations ensures that students are
kept apprised of developments in employment
trends.
Finally, noncredit courses are provided for students
wishing to learn English as a Second Language
or to improve basic academic skills in
math, English, and reading. Noncredit instruction
is provided primarily through the six college
Success Centers which also serve as the
