_____________________________

The Office of the Ombuds is a confidential, impartial, informal, and independent resource for conflict management that serves all members of the UCSB community, including faculty, staff, students, and anyone with a campus-related concern.  The Office assists those who seek guidance with the resolution of academic or administrative issues and disputes. 

The Office is a safe, confidential, and impartial place to express concerns. The Office helps campus members identify serious issues, develop resolution options, get information, informally resolve disputes, manage conflict, and learn more productive ways of communicating. Discussing an issue with the Office is not notice to the University about the existence of a problem.

Common Issues:
______________________

  • Workplace conflicts
  • Communication issues
  • Unprofessional conduct
  • Ethical dilemmas
  • Diversity issues
  • Incivility or rudeness
  • Bureaucratic runarounds
  • Policy and procedure irregularities
  • Disability issues
  • Grade disputes
  • Unfair treatment
