How does the Ombuds Officer work?
The ombuds officer:
- maintains independence and neutrality; is not an advocate;
- facilitates discussions, but is not a mediator;
- adheres to regulations that guarantee confidentiality and privacy;
- does not handle issues designated for other university roles or units (e.g., student dean or Board of Examiners);
- provides solicited and unsolicited advice.
