The University of California invites you to comment on proposed revisions to UC’s Native American Cultural Affiliation and Repatriation Policy through May 31, 2021. This revised policy incorporates changes to the California Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (CalNAGPRA), signed into law under AB 275 in September 2020 and became effective January 1, 2021.

The policy reflects extensive input received from tribes, UC faculty and staff and other key stakeholders.

The university is committed to the repatriation of Native American human remains and cultural items in accordance with the federal Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), its accompanying regulations, and CalNAGPRA. The fundamental importance of facilitating the repatriation of Native American and Native Hawaiian human remains and cultural items undergirds the policy. We look forward to the implementation of this policy. UC is committed to bringing the ancestors and their cultural items home.

In response to our campus community’s desire to strengthen White allyship, the Office for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion established the White Allyship, Action & Accountability initiative. The initiative aims to holistically and comprehensively promote anti-racism by strengthening White-ally engagement in efforts to mitigate bias and to deepen White-ally involvement in educating on anti-racism and driving racial equity at UC San Diego.

The White Allyship, Action & Accountability initiative serves as a self-directed learning plan to develop and deepen White-ally capacity to identify, engage, and actively promote anti-racism and a diverse, equitable, and inclusive campus. The resources provided are designed to be self-paced and are intended for White faculty and staff to complete individually, or as a group, to encourage accountability and enhance the overall learning experience. The desired outcome of the initiative is to contribute to a more robust campus culture and climate of care by leveraging the collective leadership of our institution and collaborating with diverse groups of campus partners.
