OFFICE OF THE CHANCELLOR June 4, 1997 ALL AT UCSD SUBJECT: Commission on Diversity Last month I appointed a Commission on Diversity to develop recommendations on UCSD policies regarding affirmative action and diversity. The Commission is comprised of faculty, staff, and students. Earlier this year, I initiated a review of campus affirmative action programs. All committees and subcommittees that advise me on matters of diversity were asked to conduct a self-study assessing the history and effectiveness of the programs under their purview. Their reports were submitted to me at the beginning of May. If you wish to consult them, copies are available at the Information Desk of the Geisel Library. The newly appointed Chancellor's Commission on Diversity will review the advisory committees' reports and formulate recommendations for policies and programs that will enable UCSD to increase its diversity, continue its commitment to excellence, and conform to the Regents' Resolutions SP-1 and SP-2. The Commission's recommendations are due at the beginning of November 1997. The names of the Commission members and their charge are attached. Please join me in thanking them all for their willingness to serve the campus community in this important task. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact any one of the following members of my staff for assistance: Ramon Gutierrez, Associate Chancellor, Extension 40195 Susan Kirkpatrick, Associate Chancellor, Extension 46864 Linda Williams, Assistant Chancellor, Extension 43138 Robert C.

The chair of the Commission will issue a report with a set of recommendations on how UCSD can become truly reflective of the diverse community that it serves. The report should: a) Describe those campus programs (including any system-wide programs adopted by this campus) that have been particularly effective in promoting campus diversity at UCSD. Discuss how these programs might be enhanced or redefined to facilitate the achievement of our campus goals, while conforming with federal and state law, and with Regents' Resolutions SP-1 and SP-2. b) Describe those campus programs (including any system-wide programs adopted by this campus) that have not been effective in meeting our affirmative action goals, and proposing either their termination or a redefinition that might make them more effective. c) Determine which of the Chancellor's Advisory Committees and Subcommittees should be continued, discontinued, or given a new charge to better monitor and assess progress in meeting our federal and state affirmative action goals while conforming with Regents' Resolutions SP-1 and SP-2 and yet still advancing toward a campus community that truly reflects California's rich and complex diversity. d) Consider all recommendations, whatever their nature, proposed by the Chancellor's Advisory Committees and Subcommittees, and assess the merit or feasibility of such recommendations. e) Discuss any concerns prompted by the Commission's deliberations that merit my attention. 2. The Commission's report should be issued by November 1, 1997. When the report is completed, the activities of the Chancellor's Diversity Commission will also end. |
