Ombudsing

The latest issue of The University of Chicago Magazine ran a piece on the Office of the Student Ombudsperson, which I currently head. The article was written by Hana Yoo, a student in the College and a summer intern at the Magazine.

It is an office of the students, by the students, and for the students. Student staffed and answering only to the University president, the ombudsperson?s office, "cutting red tape since 1968," as its motto goes, bills itself as the first of its kind in the country. The ombudsperson and associate ombudsperson investigate complaints on a case-by-case basis and recommend institutional changes.

Hana did a good job, and I'm very proud of the work that the Office does.
