WORK AUTHORIZATION AND POLITICAL REFORM ACT
Pursuant to the collective-bargaining agreement, you are eligible for the appointment term listed on page one of this form. The appointment offer is contingent upon documentation of employment eligibility in compliance with the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. If your employment eligibility is dependent on work authorization that expires before the appointment end date listed on page one, your appointment will end with your work authorization expiration, in order to comply with the applicable federal laws.

Also, the State of California requires that we inform all academic appointees of the Political Reform Act of 1974. This Act prohibits public officials from participating in governmental decisions when personal financial interests may be affected by those decisions. The Act requires that all government employees and officials disqualify themselves from participating in a governmental decision when a financial conflict of interest is present. See your Department Personnel Coordinator for required documentation.
