Equal Opportunity Law
- UCSC Silicon Valley Extension is an equal opportunity employer and program.
- Auxiliary aids and services are available upon request for individuals with disabilities.
UCSC Silicon Valley Extension receives federal financial assistance to discriminate against any individual in the United States on the basis of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions, sex stereotyping, transgender status, and gender identity), national origin (including limited English proficiency), age, disability, or political affiliation or belief, or, against any beneficiary of, applicant to, or participant in programs financially assisted under Title I of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act.
It is against the law for UCSC Extension to discriminate for any of these reasons in addition to an individual’s citizenship status or participation in any WIOA Title I–financially assisted program or activity.
UCSC Silicon Valley Extension must not discriminate in any of the following areas:
- deciding who will be admitted, or have access, to any WIOA Title I–financially assisted program or activity;
- providing opportunities in, or treating any person with regard to, such a program or activity; or
- making employment decisions in the administration of, or in connection with, such a program or activity.
Communication
Recipients of federal financial assistance must take reasonable steps to ensure that communications with individuals with disabilities are as effective as communications with others. This means that, upon request and at no cost to the individual, recipients are required to provide appropriate auxiliary aids and services to qualified individuals with disabilities.
Have you experienced discrimination?
If you think that you have been subjected to discrimination under a WIOA Title I–financially assisted program or activity, you may file a complaint within 180 days from the date of the alleged violation with one of the following entities:
- Local Workforce Development Board Equal Opportunity Officer
Visit https://bit.ly/2r9d3DN for a listing of Equal Opportunity Officers from a Workforce Development Board. - Director, Civil Rights Center, U.S. Department of Labor
By Mail: 200 Constitution Avenue NW, Room N-4123, Washington, DC 20210
Via email: Visit the CRC website at www.dol.gov/crc for directions.
If you file your complaint with the WDB, you must wait either until the WDB issues a written Notice of Final Action, or until 90 days have passed (whichever is sooner), before filing with the Civil Rights Center (see address above).
If you do not receive a written Notice of Final Action within 90 days of the day on which you filed your complaint, you may file a complaint with CRC before receiving that Notice. However, you must file your CRC complaint within 30 days of the 90-day deadline (in other words, within 120 days after the day on which you filed your complaint with the WDB).
If the WDB does give you a written Notice of Final Action on your complaint, but you are dissatisfied with the decision or resolution, you may file a complaint with CRC. You must file your CRC complaint within 30 days of the date on which you received the Notice of Final Action.
