To: UCSC Staff and Faculty

From: Ashish Sahni, Assistant Chancellor and Interim Director EEO/AA; Pamela Peterson, Assistant Vice Chancellor, Academic Personnel; Willeen McQuitta, Assistant Vice Chancellor, Staff Human Resources

The University recently revised its Nondiscrimination and Affirmative Action Policy to provide consistency with recently published regulations for implementation of the Jobs for Veterans Act of 2002 and to make explicit retaliation provisions and protections of the University policy.

Please discard and refrain from distributing the prior policy issued in 2004 and replace it with the July 2008 revised policy.

The revised UC policy and associated revisions to Personnel Policies for Staff Members (PPSM) and Academic Personnel (APM) are available at:
