SUBJECT: Reaffirmation of University of California, San Diego's Equal Employment Opportunity/ Affirmative Action Policy
As Chancellor, I am taking this opportunity to reaffirm UC San Diego's commitment to equal employment opportunity and affirmative action. The University’s policy of Nondiscrimination and Affirmative Action states, in relevant part, the following:
It is the policy of the University not to engage in discrimination against or harassment of any person employed by or seeking employment with the University of California on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, pregnancy (includes, but is not limited to pregnancy, childbirth, and medical conditions related to pregnancy or childbirth), physical or mental disability, medical condition (cancer-related or genetic characteristics), ancestry, marital status, age, sexual orientation, citizenship, or status as a covered veteran (special disabled veteran, Vietnam era veteran, recently separated veteran, or any other veteran who served on active duty during a war or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized). This policy applies to all employment practices, including recruitment, selection, promotion, transfer, merit increase, salary, training and development, demotion, and separation. This policy is intended to be consistent with the provisions of applicable State and Federal laws and University policies.
University policy also prohibits retaliation against any employee or person seeking employment for bringing a complaint of discrimination or harassment pursuant to this policy. This policy also prohibits retaliation against a person who assists someone with a complaint of discrimination or harassment, or participates in any manner in an investigation or resolution of a complaint of discrimination or harassment. Retaliation includes threats, intimidation, reprisals, and/or adverse actions related to employment.
In addition, it is the policy of the University to undertake affirmative action, consistent with its obligations as a Federal contractor, for people of color and women, for persons with disabilities, and for covered veterans. The University commits itself to apply every good faith effort to achieve prompt and full utilization of people of color and women in all segments of its workforce where deficiencies exist. These efforts conform to all current legal and regulatory requirements, and are consistent with University standards of quality and excellence.
People who believe they have been subjected to discrimination have a right to file a grievance under applicable UC San Diego policies and regulations. Applicable policies for academic and staff employees are listed on the back of this notice.
In compliance with Federal regulations, UC San Diego prepares and maintains written affirmative action plans. While all managers and supervisors have responsibilities and accountability to ensure equal opportunity and affirmative action programs are implemented, responsibility and accountability for overseeing and monitoring the effectiveness of staff and academic Affirmative Action Plans, including program accessibility for persons with disabilities, has been assigned as follows:
I strongly support this policy and reaffirm that UC San Diego will continue to implement fair employment practices in all human resources activities. 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 UC San Diego.

Chancellor
