Proposal for a UCSD "Casual Dress Day"

Consistent with Human Resources quality of work/life initiatives, we are
announcing the implementation of a "Casual Dress Day" for the UCSD
community. "Casual Dress Day" would occur every Friday from July 1
through September 2, 1994.

This program is targeted to work environments where employees
typically wear traditional business attire. Each Friday during the
summer weeks, employees would have the option of wearing "smart
casual" attire, as long as such clothing would not interfere with or
be inappropriate for the ordinary work responsibilities of that
particular day.

While "smart casual" may be defined as shoes and clothing designed
for informal or relaxed occasions, examples consistent with standards
set for each diverse work environment should be provided by the Vice
Chancellors or their designees. In units where dress standards are
currently relaxed, there will be little or no impact of "Casual Dress
Day." However, in departments where the standard is traditional
business attire, employees may welcome the opportunity to function in
a more relaxed and casual atmosphere during the warm summer months.
