SUBJECT:

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

As Chancellor and Chief Diversity Officer, 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 Nondiscrimination Statement for a
summary of governing regulations and faculty/staff grievance policies on
the reverse side of this notice. I strongly support this policy and
reaffirm that fair employment practices will be implemented throughout all
human resources activities at UCSD.

The Staff Affirmative Action Vice Chancellor Working Group, which has a
representative from each Vice Chancellor/Director area, continues to meet
regularly 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
1999.

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:

* Marsha A. Chandler, Senior Vice Chancellor - Academic Affairs, Academic
Affirmative Action Coordinator, and Section 504 Coordinator for Faculty,
105 University Center, Mail Code 0001, (619) 534-3130
* Joseph W. Watson, Vice Chancellor - Student Affairs and Section 504
Coordinator for Students, 112 University Center, Mail Code 0015, (619)
534-4370
* Steven W. Relyea, Vice Chancellor - Business Affairs, Staff Affirmative
Action Coordinator, and Section 504 Coordinator for Staff, 110 University
Center, Mail Code 0007, (619) 534-3390
* Paula C. Doss, Director of Human Resources for Equal Opportunity/Staff
Affirmative Action, 10280 N. Torrey Pines Road, Suite 370, Mail Code 0923,
(619) 534-3694
* Jonathan L. Welch, Director, Office of Academic Affirmative Action, 402
University Center, Mail Code 0029, (619) 534-4497
* Barry J. Niman, Employee Rehabilitation Manager - Human Resources and ADA
Title II Coordinator, 10280 N. Torrey Pines Road, Suite 348, Mail Code
0944, (619) 534-6743

If the UCSD equal employment opportunity and affirmative action program is
to be a success, it will require ongoing commitment on the part of
everyone. Please join me in supporting our commitment to equal employment
opportunity and affirmative action at UCSD.

Robert C. Dynes Chancellor

It is the policy of the University not to engage in discrimination against
or harassment of any person employed by or seeking employment with the
University of California on the basis of race, color, national origin,
religion, sex, physical or mental disability, medical condition
(cancer-related or genetic characteristics), ancestry, marital status, age,
sexual orientation, citizenship, or status as a Vietnam-era veteran or
special disabled veteran. This policy is intended to be consistent with the
provisions of applicable State and Federal laws and University Policies.

Consistent with its status as a Federal contractor, the University
undertakes affirmative action for minorities and women, for persons with
disabilities, and for Vietnam-era and special disabled veterans.
