One of UCSD's objectives is to increase diversity in career positions.

Please note: The Staff Equal Opportunity Enrichment Program Committee
asks applicants to seek funding from their departments for the proposed
training activity prior to submitting a proposal.
Career employees, who aspire to work in any of the job titles listed
above and who meet the requirements, are encouraged to apply. Please
thoroughly review the attached requirements and selection criteria. If
eligible, submit 12 copies of the completed proposal to Human Resources-
Equal Opportunity/Staff Affirmative Action, mail code 0923, no later

the end of June 1999. The implementation of the Staff Equal Opportunity
Enrichment Program will be in compliance with equal opportunity/
affirmative action requirements and other applicable UC policies.
