SUBJECT:  Administrative Responsibilities Handbook

We are pleased to announce that the Administrative Responsibilities Handbook (ARH) is now available in its entirety in BLINK and can be accessed at http://blink.ucsd.edu/go/adminhandbook. The ARH was developed by the Office of the Controller and key central administrative support departments to provide guidance to those academic and staff employees with administrative and/or financial oversight responsibilities.

Endorsed by the Campus Committee on Accountability and Controls, this information is designed to assist the campus in effectively managing and making decisions related to Academic Affairs, Conflict of Interest, Environment, Health and Safety, Finance, Human Resources, Information Systems and Research activities. While we encourage everyone to consult their department business officer first, we hope this information will be of use in your daily decision making process.

We recommend that you utilize and share the BLINK website with anyone within your organization that can use it as a resource. Suggestions for enhancing this information can be sent directly to Laura Osante at losante@ucsd.edu for consideration by the Campus Committee on Accountability and Controls.
