Palomar College’s Governing Board voted 3–2 on Oct. 14 to delete BP 3000, the college’s anti-racism and equity policy, after a meeting that drew dozens of students, faculty, and community members to speak for or against the change. The decision dissolves the current policy and creates a subcommittee to consider drafting a replacement.
This video highlights key moments from the meeting, including trustee remarks, public comment, and reactions from attendees as the debate over BP 3000 unfolded inside the boardroom.

A very thought-provoking piece sharing highlights on a hot topic at Palomar’s latest Governing Board meeting, that turned predictable and disappointing in the final vote against maintaining protections for marginalized groups and our majority diverse student community by ending BP 3000. What I found abhorrent besides the vote itself, was the smirking of the governing board’s president during the meeting. I see that human decency wasn’t the only thing she lost along the way, but it appears her professionalism was discarded as well.
Let me reiterate to all the voting community for the Palomar College District governing board, votes matter and what we are seeing is the results of that. Please consider and investigate who you are voting for.
