Diversity/Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Nominations

To ensure that everyone has had sufficient time to submit nominations, we
are pleased to announce that we are able to extend the October 1 deadline
to October 31, 1996.

These nominations are designed to recognize those individuals, departments
and organizational units who have made outstanding contributions to the
diversification of the career staff work force at UCSD during the
affirmative action reporting period from November 1, 1994 through April 30,
1996.

Nominations will be received at the Office of Equal Opportunity/Staff
Affirmative Action at Torrey Pines Center South, Room 370. All nominations
must be received by Thursday, October 31, 1996. Electronic nominations
will be considered provided all nominating materials and personal
electronic endorsements from the nominators are received by the deadline.
Please send your nominations to Irma Martinez at imartinez@ucsd.edu.

A committee has been appointed to review nominations and will consist of a
representative from each Vice Chancellor unit.

Nomination Criteria:

1. Individuals who have made a noteworthy contribution in one or more of
   the following areas: equal opportunity, affirmative action, and
   diversity. For example, staff volunteers who tutored disadvantaged
   youth in the community, individuals who have actively participated and
   helped promote staff through the mentorship/sponsorship program, and
   supervisors who have diversified their department's work force through
   outreach and hiring.

2. Departments that have actively supported or initiated programs in the
   areas of equal opportunity, affirmative action, or diversity. For
   example, participation in programs such as the Rotation Program or
   Summer Youth Program, and development of an affirmative action/diversity
   training program.

3. Departments that have shown progress in increasing the representation
   of women or people of color over a period of time. This criteria will
   also consider the number of placement goals that they have met during
   this period.

4. Departments that have diversified their work force by increasing the
   representation of other protected groups, such as people with
   disabilities, special disabled veterans, and Vietnam-era veterans.

In order to give all nominations adequate opportunity, length of the
narrative statement should not exceed 300 words. Supplemental materials
such as newspaper articles can be submitted. Please submit nominations by
Thursday, October 31, 1996. All award recipients will be announced prior
