April 6, 2020 - Although the University has moved to a virtual environment, the Ombuds Office remains open virtually to help manage workplace strain.
To help with scheduling challenges during the COVID-19 crisis, Ombuds hours have been expanded to include evenings on Tuesdays and Thursdays and early mornings on Wednesdays. Appointments can be made anonymously and confidentially through links on the Ombuds website. The "DIY" sub-pages have been expanded to include COVID-19-specific resources.
As a reminder, the University Ombuds is a confidential, impartial, informal and independent conflict management professional who works to address individual and systemic issues outside of and complementary to formal channels such as human resources, grievances, complaints, and legal action.
