SUBJECT:  Reaffirmation of University of California, San Diego's
                     Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action Policy

As Chancellor and Chief Diversity Officer, I am taking this opportunity to reaffirm UCSD's commitment to equal employment opportunity and affirmative action. Specifically, UCSD prohibits discrimination against or harassment of any person employed by or seeking employment with the University of California, consistent with the provisions of applicable State and Federal regulations.

UCSD's Nondiscrimination/Affirmative Action and grievance policies are available online at http://www-hr.ucsd.edu/~saa/reaffirm2.html. Additionally, hard copies of the entire reaffirmation statement, including grievance policy information, have been mailed to all academic and staff employees at UCSD.

In compliance with Federal regulations, UCSD prepares and maintains written affirmative action plans. Managers and supervisors have responsibilities to ensure equal opportunity and affirmative action programs are implemented. For information on who to contact, refer to the hard copy or online version of the reaffirmation statement at http://www-hr.ucsd.edu/~saa/reaffirm2.html.

The success of the UCSD equal employment opportunity and affirmative action program requires ongoing commitment on the part of everyone. Please join me in supporting our commitment to equal employment opportunity and affirmative action at UCSD.
