Important reminder: Please take UC’s disability survey by 5 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 15, 2019
UC is committed to providing a supportive environment for all faculty, staff and students — including those with disabilities — and we need your help. UC’s voluntary one-question survey about employees’ disability status will help us assess UC’s efforts at becoming a more inclusive community. If you’ve already completed the survey — thank you! If you have not, we encourage you to take a minute to complete the survey by 5 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 15, 2019.
Last month, UC faculty and staff received an email from the sender UC Disability Survey (ucdisabilitysurvey@willistowerswatson.com) with a secure link to the voluntary survey. Faculty and staff without an email address on file received a paper survey by mail. UC has hired Willis Towers Watson to administer the survey on its behalf, and all information collected in the survey will remain confidential. More information about UC’s privacy policy is available here.
As a recipient of federal funds, the University of California and other federal government contractors are required to invite employees to self-identify their disability status every five (5) years. UC will use the data collected to measure our employment practices and recruitment efforts, and the quality of our data depends on the participation of as many faculty and staff as possible.
UC provides reasonable accommodation to employees who are disabled or become disabled and need assistance to perform the essential functions of their positions. If you need accommodations, please reach out to the Human Resources department at your location to find out how to contact your disability manager.
