The University Ombuds helps individuals and organizations explore creative options for problem-solving without being committed to a specific process for resolution. It is informal and off-the-record, and no one can be required to use the Ombuds Office or prohibited from it. And because the University Ombuds is a permanent function at CSUCI, follow-up consultations, course corrections, and completely new plans are always possible.
Common services include conflict coaching, option generation, assisted process navigation, facilitation, shuttle diplomacy, informal climate assessments and more.
