Nondiscrimination and Affirmative Action Policy Statement for University of California

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 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 admissions, access, and 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.

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.

Inquiries regarding the University of California, San Diego’s (UCSD) equal employment opportunity policies and student-related nondiscrimination policies may be directed to:

Notice to Students of Their Privacy Rights Under UCSD PPM 160-2 and FERPA

In accordance with the Federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 and UCSD PPM 160-2, the campus procedures implementing the University of California policies applying to the Disclosure of Information from student records, students at the San Diego campus of the university have the right to:

1. Refuse to permit any or all of the categories of personally identifiable information to be designated as directory information with respect to themselves;
2. Inspect and review the student’s own records;
3. Request correction of the student’s own records;
4. Grieve an alleged violation of privacy rights, as specified in this policy;
5. Have personally identifiable information contained in student records not be disclosed without a signed and dated written consent that specifically identifies:
1. The records to be disclosed,
2. The purpose of the disclosure, and
3. The party or class to whom disclosures are to be made. Consent is not required for those disclosures authorized by sections VIII and IX of PPM 160-2; and
6. File with the United States Department of Education a complaint concerning alleged failures by UCSD to comply with the requirements of FERPA; and
7. Be informed where copies of student records policies are located and obtain a copy.

Directory or Public Information

The following has been designated by UCSD as “directory information:” a student’s name; address (local and/or permanent); e-mail address; telephone numbers; date of birth; major fields of study; dates of attendance; degrees and honors received; participation in officially recognized activities, including intercollegiate athletics; and the name, weight, and height of participants on intercollegiate UCSD athletic teams.

Notification of Rights Under FERPA for Postsecondary Institutions

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. They are:

1. The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within forty-five days of the day UCSD receives the student's written request.
   Students should submit written requests that identify the record(s) that the student wishes to inspect. The UCSD official to whom the request was submitted will notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected.
2. The right to request amendments of the student’s education records that the student believes are inaccurate or misleading.
   The request may be submitted in writing to the UCSD official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the UCSD official decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, that official will notify the student of the decision and advise the student of the procedures to appeal the denial.
3. The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.
   One exception which permits disclosure without consent is disclosures to UCSD or UC officials with legitimate educational interests. A UCSD or UC official is a person employed by UCSD or UC in an administrative, supervisory, academic, research, or support staff position: a person or company with whom UCSD or UC has contracted (such as attorney, auditor, or collection agent): or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee. A UCSD or UC official has a legitimate educational interest if the information requested is relevant and necessary for the official to perform a task or determination that it is an employment responsibility or perform a task that is related specifically to the official’s participation in the student’s education or perform a task that is related specifically to the discipline or the student, and provides a service or benefit to the student, or the student’s family.
4. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by UCSD to comply with the requirements of FERPA.
   The name and address of the office that administers FERPA is:
   Family Policy Compliance Office U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue, SW Washington, DC, 20202-4605

Questions about these rights or any other aspect of student records management by UCSD officials may be referred to the director, Student Policies and Judicial Affairs, Student Center, Building B, or by telephone at (858) 534-6225 or e-mail at judicialaffairs@ucsd.edu. The text of FERPA may be found in the government documents section of the UCSD Geisel Library. Copies of the UCSD student records policy, PPM 160-2, may be accessed electronically at http://adminrecords.ucsd.edu/ppm/docs/160-2.html

UCSD Sexual Harassment Prevention and Policy

The University of California, San Diego is committed to creating and maintaining a community where all persons who participate in UCSD programs and activities can work and learn together in an atmosphere free of all forms of harassment, exploitation, or intimidation. Every member of the UCSD community should be aware that UCSD is strongly opposed to sexual harassment and that such behavior is prohibited both by law and UCSD policy. Retaliation against a person who brings a complaint of sexual harassment is also strictly prohibited and may result in separate disciplinary action. UCSD will respond promptly and effectively to reports of sexual harassment and will take appropriate action to prevent, correct, and if necessary, discipline behavior that violates this policy.

Laws and University Policies Prohibiting Sexual Harassment

The University of California Policy on Sexual Harassment applies to UCSD, including the medical centers and all auxiliary university locations. The California Fair Employment and Housing Act and Title VII of the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, prohibit sexual harassment in employment. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits sexual harassment in educational institutions which are recipients of federal funds.

Defining Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when submission to or rejection of this conduct explicitly or implicitly affects a person’s employment or education, unreasonably interferes with a person’s work or educational performance, or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working or learning environment. UCSD will respond to reports of any such conduct.

In determining whether the reported conduct constitutes sexual harassment, consideration shall be given to the record of the conduct as a whole and to the totality of the circumstances, including the context in which the conduct occurred.

Sexual harassment does not typically include verbal expression or written material that is relevant and appropriately related to course subject matter or curriculum. This policy is intended to protect members of the UCSD community from discrimination, not to regulate protected speech.

Sexual harassment may occur between persons of differing power or between peers. In addition, sexual harassment may involve a female harassing a male, or a male or female harassing a person of the same gender. Harassment that is not sexual in nature but is based on gender, gender identity, sex-stereotyping, or sexual orientation also is prohibited if it is sufficiently severe to deny or limit a person’s ability to participate in or benefit from UCSD educational programs, employment, or services. In determining whether a hostile environment due to sexual harassment exists, UCSD may take into account acts of discrimination based on gender, gender identity, sex-stereotyping, or sexual orientation.

Consensual Relationships

UCSD’s consensual relationship policy addresses potential ethical and legal issues that arise when individuals develop romantic or sexual relationships. In addition, the UC regents have approved a systemwide faculty-student relationship policy that prohibits a faculty member from becoming romantically or sexually involved with students for whom the faculty member has or should expect to have supervisory responsibility.

Prevention and Education

To implement UCSD’s policy regarding sexual harassment, the Office of Sexual Harassment Prevention and Policy (OSHPP) provides assistance in investigating and resolving complaints and provides education to the entire UCSD community. Emphasis is on prevention and early resolution. Copies of UCSD’s policy and procedures may be obtained at OSHPP at 201 University Center or at its campus Web page at http://oshpp.ucsd.edu. Sexual harassment prevention materials, including the university policy, are available in Spanish. Students are encouraged to review the interactive online education program, Preventing Sexual Harassment, available on the OSHPP Web page. Under California state law, large employers are required to provide their supervisors with two hours of sexual harassment prevention training every two years. At the University of California, for the purpose of sexual harassment prevention training, supervisors include all faculty.

Complaint Resolution

UCSD has established guidelines for resolving sexual harassment complaints. There are several early resolution options, depending on the circumstances, including educational programs for targeted campus units or for particular individuals and mediation between the parties. Where early resolution is unsuccessful or inappropriate, a formal complaint may be filed and a formal investigation undertaken. There is no prescribed sequence, so choosing one option first does not prevent a complainant from choosing a different option for resolution later on.

Because complaints are most effectively resolved at the earliest possible stage, UCSD encourages early reporting of concerns or complaints regarding sexual harassment. If you believe you have been sexually harassed, you are encouraged to discuss your options and learn about UCSD procedures by contacting OSHPP at (858) 534-8298. You may obtain advice without filing a complaint. Unreasonable delay in reporting sexual harassment or failure to utilize UCSD’s complaint resolution procedures may affect your legal rights.

A number of governmental agencies also accept complaints of sexual harassment, including the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the Office for Civil Rights, U.S. Department of Education. The time deadlines for filing such complaints vary between 180 and 365 days.

Retaliation

Threats, other forms of intimidation, and retaliation against a faculty member, student, or staff employee for bringing a complaint of sexual harassment or for assisting another in bringing a complaint are prohibited. Retaliation is itself a violation of UCSD policy and applicable law, and is a serious offense. Complaints of retaliation may be brought through the sexual harassment complaint procedures. Acts of retaliation may result in discipline.
