SUBJECT:

Search for Title IX/Sexual Harassment Officer

Reviews of the Office of Sexual Harassment Prevention and Policy (OSHPP)
conducted by both on-campus and off-campus teams have recommended that
the Office of Sexual Harassment Prevention & Policy report directly to
the Chancellor=s Office, and that the Director of this office be given
the title of Title IX/Sexual Harassment Officer. Accordingly, I am
authorizing a search for a new Title IX/Sexual Harassment Officer who
will upon appointment report directly to Assistant Chancellor Linda
Williams.

The Title IX/Sexual Harassment Officer will have responsibility for the
education and training of UCSD faculty, staff and students concerning
sexual harassment compliance, for investigating formal complaints of
sexual harassment and for managing the Office of Sexual Harassment
Prevention and Policy. He or she will also have joint responsibility
with other campus Title IX officers for investigation of complaints on
gender discrimination.

The following have been appointed to the search committee for the new
Title IX/Sexual Harassment Officer:

Professor Deborah Wingard, Chair - Family & Preventive Medicine

Nicholas Aguilar - Student Affairs

Jennefer Collins - Academic Affairs

Rogers Davis - Business Affairs

Tesh Khullar - Associated Students

Carol Lewin - Medical Center

Anthony Navarrete - Graduate Student Association

Ann Parode - Campus Counsel

Professor Lynne Talley - SIO

This committee will convene shortly to review applications and recommend
the top two candidates for further consideration to the Chancellor's
Office no later than March 27, 1998. We hope to appoint a person to this
position shortly thereafter.

We appreciate your patience and assistance during this interim period.

Robert C. Dynes Chancellor
