The Office of the Ombudsperson is a resource for any member of the university community with a problem or concern. They provide informal conflict resolution, mediation services, and advocacy for fair treatment and fair process.

They offer a safe place to discuss conflicts or any concerns you might have about the university or its policies or procedures, and they will answer your questions, help you figure out your options, refer you to other offices if necessary, and help you resolve your concerns.
