The Office of the Ombuds is designed to serve as a safe, alternative channel for confidential, neutral and informal dispute resolution services. Faculty, lecturers, postdoctoral scholars, staff, students and anyone else with a campus-related concern may use the Office of the Ombuds to discuss workplace issues, interpersonal conflicts, academic concerns, bureaucratic slow-downs and other problems. Our services are always voluntary and reports do not constitute a formal notice to the university.
A Safe Space to Talk
You don't have to be in an extreme conflict or problem to come in to talk. Issues are often easiest to resolve before they have a major impact. We like to say we can be, "Your first step, last resort or anywhere in between."
