The Ombuds Office leverages broad connections within higher education, government, and industry as well as the broader dispute resolution community—and even improve - to bring the best ideas and practices to CSUCI. With the Ombuds Office, form always follows substance— your substance.
For example, consider an office where two individuals have been locked in extended conflict. New members tiptoe around daily interactions and are perpetually nervous about where they fit in. With everyone’s consent, the University Ombuds could combine a mediation for the more senior members with an improv-based group facilitation, exploring the impact of the conflict in a safe way and developing a framework to manage future disputes.
