About the Office of AA/EO/D
The Office of Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity/Diversity exists to foster and insure equal opportunity for all persons involved with UCSF, and to promote diversity through specific affirmative actions. Its activities help to create an environment in which each individual's contribution is valued and everyone can succeed. The Office of Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity/Diversity is designed to be a resource to the entire campus.
Affirmative Action is a set of result-oriented steps that actively may take race, sex, national origin, disability, or veteran status into account in order to remedy the effects of past discrimination. These steps can include outreach and recruitment.
While an affirmative action plan is required by federal regulations, UCSF views affirmative action as an important part of managing its human resources and enriching the diversity of the campus community. Different approaches, experiences, ideas, and perspectives are not only welcome, but are actively sought. It is the goal of the Office of AA/EO/D to support the implementation of diversity at all levels of the campus community.
Equal Opportunity is nondiscrimination. It is the absence of discriminatory conditions, a neutral environment or situation in which each individual is assessed on the basis of merit, and impermissible criteria such as personal characteristics are not used. It is a violation of state and federal law and University policy to be treated differently, harassed, or in any other way discriminated against on the basis of any legally prohibited factor.
Diversity refers to the variety of experiences and perspectives which arise fro differences in race, ethnicity, culture, religion, mental or physical abilities, heritage age gender, sexual orientation, and other characteristics. UCSF values and promotes diversity because it enhances the educational environment, the workplace and wevices to the public provided by this campus.
