The March 3, 2020 Primary Election is approaching and UC San Diego

POLITICAL ACTIVITY:
UC San Diego is home to politically active and engaged students, staff,
and faculty who are eager to make a difference on campus and in the
world. As such, we remind faculty and staff about the University of
California's guidelines on political activities. UC staff and faculty
are encouraged to be engaged and politically active. However, such
participation and activities cannot be done on behalf of the university.
Legal guidelines for UC participation in ballot campaigns and political
activity are available at: https://go.ucsd.edu/2RTfvtZ. The use of
university resources/funds for ballot initiatives and/or activities that
might reasonably be viewed as partisan political activity is generally
prohibited.
Individuals who improperly use university resources for political
advocacy may be subject to disciplinary actions. Examples of university
resources that should not be used for political advocacy may include,
but are not limited to:
* University telephones, email, or websites;
* Letterhead or other university-printed materials; and
* University-linked social media.
In addition, wearing a UC San Diego name badge to a political event is
not allowed.
If you have further questions, students should contact Heather Belk,
Director of Associated Students Administration at: heather@ucsd.edu.
Faculty/staff should contact Kaitlin Chell, Executive Director of
Government & Community Relations at: kchell@ucsd.edu.
