University Ombuds Office & Campus
Dispute Assistance Services
The mission of The University of Kansas Ombuds Office is
to ensure that all members of the university community receive fair and
equitable treatment. The
Ombuds Office carries out its mission via two complementary approaches:
(1) receiving and attempting to resolve individual grievances on a confidential,
informal basis; and 2) supporting systems change that advance the goal
of a fair conflict management system.
The purpose of the Ombuds Office is to act as “an ear to the people” so
every voice at The University of Kansas can be heard and receive impartial
attention without fear of retaliation and loss of privacy. In doing so,
the Ombuds Office serves as an independent, confidential, neutral and informal
resource to the entire university community.
