SUBJECT:

Reaffirmation of University of California, San Diego's Equal Employment Opportunity Policy

I am taking this opportunity to reaffirm UCSD's commitment to equal
employment opportunity and affirmative action. UCSD's policy governing
nondiscrimination in employment requires us to assure that all personnel
actions, including recruitment, hiring, promotion, transfer, training,
career development, layoff and termination of both faculty and staff at the
University are made in a fair and impartial manner. Please refer to the
attached Nondiscrimination Statement for a summary of governing regulations
and faculty/staff grievance policies. I strongly support this policy and
reaffirm that fair employment practices will be implemented throughout all
human resources activities at UCSD.

This year the Staff Affirmative Action Vice Chancellor Working Group, which
has a representative from each Vice Chancellor/Director area, has met on an
ngoing basis to develop action plans and to ensure that the
nondiscrimination policy is disseminated to UCSD employees. These action
plans, incorporated in the Staff Affirmative Action Plan, will be published
in the Spring of 1996.

Relevant policies, such as the equal employment opportunity policy, and
affirmative action programs, will continue to be discussed in the
Supervisory Training Laboratory and the New Employee Orientation sessions.
Furthermore, UCSD will continue to distribute its nondiscrimination
statement widely to all recruitment sources.

While all managers and supervisors are responsible for implementing the
Affirmative Action Plan, responsibility for overseeing the implementation
of staff and academic Affirmative Action Plans, including program
accessibility for persons with disabilities, has been assigned as follows:

opportunity and affirmative action at UCSD.

       NONDISCRIMINATION STATEMENT
