A university ombudsman's role is to provide confidential advice and nonpartisan assistance in solving problems and resolving disputes. An ombudsman is independent of the university's formal administrative structure and cannot impose solutions, but can identify options and strategies for resolution. The four guiding principles of an ombudsman are confidentiality, independence, neutrality and informality.
Appointments can be made by contacting Dr. Thomas Bailey at thomas.bailey@wmich.edu or (269) 387-0718.
