ALL STAFF AND ACADEMICS AT UC SAN DIEGO (including UC San Diego Health)

UC San Diego embraces diversity in the workplace and proudly recognizes that our strength lies in it and in the unique and valuable contributions made by people from a wide range of backgrounds and identities. We remain fully committed to creating and fostering an environment for work, research, and learning that is inclusive of all individuals. 

In observance of National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) in October, and in the shared responsibility of safeguarding the civil rights of individuals with disabilities who seek to participate in our university’s wide range of activities, we are inviting all employees to update their Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form. 

Self-identification is voluntary and confidential, and is not used as the basis for any employment decisions. The information collected is used for statistical reporting to the federal government, accreditation bodies and grant-awarding agencies, as well as for internal benchmarking and review.
