SUBJECT:  Reaffirmation of University of California, San Diego's
                     Policy on Sexual Harassment

As Chancellor, I am taking this opportunity to reaffirm UCSD's commitment to creating and maintaining a harassment-free community. Specifically, UCSD does not tolerate sexual harassment, and such behavior is prohibited both by law and by UCSD policy.

UCSD's Policy on Sexual Harassment is available online at http://adminrecords.ucsd.edu/PPM/docs/200-10.html. For hard copies of the policy, or for information regarding UCSD's policy and resolution procedures, please contact the Office of Sexual Harassment Prevention and Policy (OSHPP), 201 University Center (858-534-8298). Additional resources, including an online education program, are available online at OSHPP's webpage, at http://oshpp.ucsd.edu/.

Supervisors are urged to review their responsibilities under the Policy, and in particular, the requirement that complaint resolutions handled at the department level be reported to OSHPP (see Policy, section IV.C.2). In addition, all departments are urged to use the resources offered by OSHPP and provide education to their employees on a regular basis.

Creating a harassment-free community requires the ongoing commitment on the part of everyone. Please join me in re- affirming this commitment.
