SUBJECT:

Ensuring Workplace Safety

In this time of increased societal concern over workplace safety, we want to
reassure you that UCSD is committed to maintaining a safe environment for all
faculty, staff and students. In keeping with this commitment, you should be
aware that any reported threats of physical violence will be taken seriously and
investigated. Such threats are considered serious misconduct and may be the
basis for disciplinary action. When there is reason to be concerned that the
health, safety or well-being of members of the University community are
endangered, a licensed mental health practitioner may be called upon to evaluate
the individual making the threat.

If you or someone you know receives a threat of physical violence from someone
inside or outside the UCSD community, you should report it immediately to one of
the following offices:

CAMPUS   Faculty/Staff:
        Faculty and Staff Assistance Program, ext. 45523

MEDICAL CENTER HILLCREST/THORNTON

Violence, whether actual or threatened, undermines our ability to work and
learn. Please assist in ensuring that our campus is a safe environment for all
members of the University community.
