Organizational update involving offices of institutional equity and ombuds

Under a change in reporting structure, the Office of Institutional Equity and the Office of the Ombuds are now organizationally housed within Legal Affairs, Risk and Compliance rather than the Office of the President. This shift in reporting lines does not change the missions, daily operations or staffing of the offices. Students, employees and other constituents can continue to expect the same exceptional services, resources and commitment to fairness that have long defined these offices. Guided by the established policies and best practices in their fields, staff will continue their important work with the professionalism and dedication that our community depends on.
