SUBJECT:  Reaffirmation Notice - Spring 2003

As Chancellor and Chief Diversity Officer, I am taking this opportunity to reaffirm the University of California, San Diego's (UCSD) commitment to creating and maintaining a harassment-free environment that promotes and encourages equal employment opportunity, affirmative action, and accessibility to individuals with disabilities.

Please join me in reaffirming these commitments:

* Reaffirmation of UCSD's Policy on Sexual Harassment
* Reaffirmation of UCSD's Commitment to be Accessible to Individuals with Disabilities
* Reaffirmation of UCSD's Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action Policy

Ultimately, everyone at UCSD bears some responsibility for bringing these reaffirmations to life by maintaining a working and learning environment free from sexual harassment, by ensuring equal access to UCSD educational programs and employment opportunities, and by fostering respect and acceptance for the value of diversity at UCSD.

More information, including excerpted summaries with links to the full policies and guidelines, is accessible at:
