SUBJECT:

Restructuring of Employee Relations Division

Effective immediately, the Employee Relations Division will report directly
to the Assistant Vice Chancellor Human Resources. This restructuring will
provide the Employee Relations Division more autonomy and further clarify
their purpose of neutrality in advising the UCSD Community with regard to
individual rights and responsibilities.

The Employee Relations Division will continue to provide guidance and
assistance to all employees regarding conditions of employment and employee
rights and responsibilities. The division is also the primary point of
contact for accessing other Human Resources Department services. It is a
safe and neutral place for individuals to receive assistance to effectively
manage work-related issues. The division's purpose is to always address
work-related issues with consistency, objectivity, compliance and fairness,
thus representing the broad UCSD interest in accordance with applicable
laws, policies, practices and procedure (e.g., the UCSD Principles of
Community).

The Employee Relations Division has four staff members. Mary Ann Mead is
the Director and may be reached at x44115 or mmead@ucsd.edu. The Employee
Relations Specialists provide service by specific Vice Chancellorial areas
to ensure continuity, consistency, and an understanding of the specific
