Administration

The Office of the Ombudsman is a neutral resource to facilitate fair, equitable, and expeditious resolution of university-related concerns and problems raised by undergraduate and graduate students. The ombudsman is an advocate for fairness and the equitable treatment of students, operates independently of all formal grievance processes at the university, and considers all sides of an issue in an impartial and objective manner. The ombudsman has no authority to make exceptions or to grant requests, but can perform informal investigations and, as a result, may recommend actions that lead to changes in processes and policies at the university. Meetings with the ombudsman are confidential.
