Happy Holidays!

From the Human Resources office:

Another session of diversity training has been scheduled. It is being held during the break to hopefully make it easier for some of your employees to attend. If you or some of your non-faculty employees have not attended the 7 hours of diversity training, please try to have them attend this upcoming session.

An hour later, from President Saigo:

All members of our campus community should be free to make celebratory note of these holidays in our workspaces, living spaces, and in our conversations. However, as a state institution the University will refrain from putting up decorations or representations embracing any one particular holiday in the common areas, including building exteriors, other than personal living spaces (residence halls). In order to show sensitivity to all, I encourage us also to be inclusive as we plan office or other group celebrations.
