SUBJECT:

UCSD Abridged Staff Affirmative Action Plan

Today, the Office of Equal Opportunity/Staff Affirmative Action sent
each department on campus and at the Medical Center a copy of the UCSD
Abridged Staff Affirmative Action Plan. I encourage you to read this
plan by contacting your department contact person.

Developed in conformance with Executive Order 11246 as well as
applicable federal and state regulations, this abridged plan covers
UCSD's staff affirmative action program for the period between
November 1, 1995 and February 28, 1997. Formally, this plan reaffirms
the University's equal employment opportunity/nondiscrimination policy
and its responsibility for implementation. Additionally, it informs
managers and supervisors of their responsibilities regarding
practicing equal opportunity and meeting the University's affirmative
action objectives in staff employment.

One important component of this plan is a summary of The Regents'
Resolution SP-2, which became effective on January 1, 1996. In
highlighting the major changes in employment practices as a result of
the resolution, this section clarifies the University's objectives and
responsibilities in implementing its affirmative action programs.
Other components of this plan include: identification of
underutilized areas, development of availability data; establishment
of goals; goals and workforce diversity progress; Vice
Chancellors'/Director's action-oriented programs for meeting goals;
policies of nondiscrimination based on gender, religion, and national
origin; and the affirmative action plan for Vietnam-era veterans,
special disabled veterans, and people with disabilities.

UCSD is committed to its nondiscrimination policy. To achieve and
sustain equal opportunity for all, it is essential to have the
support of the entire University community.

If you have any questions regarding the UCSD Abridged Staff
Affirmative Action Plan, please contact the Office of Equal
Opportunity/Staff Affirmative Action at extension 41923 or visit its
