SUBJECT:

Human Resource Management Initiatives (HRMI)

During the Fall of 1994, the first phase of consultation regarding the
proposed changes of the Human Resource Management Initiatives (HRMI) was
conducted. During this phase, members of the UCSD community were invited
to review HRMI-related documents, attend open forum sessions and provide
comments regarding these proposals. As a result, recommendations were
forwarded to the Office of the President by UCSD and the other UC campuses.

As these programs and policies are further refined leading to final and
formal presentation, a second informal review process is appropriate. They
are being presented now for that purpose. This informal review process
will provide the opportunity for the UCSD campus community to attend open
forum sessions (as noted below), review the full text of the documents, and
provide feedback to the Human Resources Department. Subsequently, a UCSD
position, representative of the campus sentiment, will be forwarded to the
Office of the President.

In an effort to ensure that the UCSD community has the opportunity to
evaluate and provide comments which will assist the Office of the President
in shaping the final proposals as well as the campus in the implementation
of the HRMI, a number of steps are being taken which include the following:

    O  The Office of the President's "Human Resource Management
       Initiatives--Policy and Program Proposals" and the "Human
       Resource Management Initiatives, UCSD Executive Summary"
       documents are available through InfoPath by selecting the
       following menu items: Campus Resources and Services;
       Administrative Departments; and Human Resources and Personnel.
       Or, you may reach the Human Resources Web directly via:
       HTTP://WWW-HR.ucsd.edu. The HRMI documents are located in the
       Policy Development and Quality of Work/Life area. In addition,
       hard copies of these documents are available at the libraries
       and through the staff associations.

    O  Open forum sessions to discuss the proposed changes have been
       scheduled as follows:

Thursday, April 6    12-1:30 pm   SIO, 4500 Hubbs Hall
Friday, April 7      12-1:30 pm   IR/PS, Robinson Building Complex
Auditorium
Monday, April 10     12-1:30 pm   Price Center, Ballroom A
Wednesday, April 12   12-1:30 pm   111-A University Center,
                   Chancellor's Complex

    O  Focus groups, including representatives from each Vice
       Chancellor's area, as well as representatives from staff
       associations and various other Human Resources-related
       committees, have been formed to review the documents and
       provide substantive feedback.

Please send your comments to Denise Campbell via e:mail at
dcampbell@ucsd.edu or via campus mail at 0922, by no later than Friday,
April 14.

Please be advised that the formal review of the Human Resource Management
Initiatives (HRMI) Personnel Program policies section will take place from
July through September of 1995. The target date for the implementation of
the HRMI is July 1, 1996.

We look forward to receiving your comments and seeing you at our open
forum sessions.
