Faculty Relations

Welcome to Faculty Relations and the Faculty Ombuds

We’re here to support faculty in navigating workplace concerns, fostering respectful communication, and promoting a healthy academic environment.

While our roles are distinct, both Faculty Relations and the Faculty Ombuds are committed to helping faculty find constructive paths forward. Whether you're looking for guidance, resolution, or simply someone to talk to, we’re here to help.

Faculty Ombuds

The Faculty Ombuds offers individual, confidential consultations for faculty seeking a safe, informal space to talk through concerns and explore options. Operating independently and guided by the International Ombuds Association’s principles—confidentiality, neutrality, independence, and informality—the Ombuds does not report to Faculty Relations or other administrative units.
