Students, faculty, and staff are invited to use UNO’s Ombuds Services during their time at the university.

Ombuds Services is a confidential resource for any member of the campus community with a university-related problem or conflict. The Ombuds assist with informal conflict resolution and problem-solving, navigating difficult situations, and advocacy for fair processes and fair treatment.

What an Ombudsperson (Ombuds) Can Do:

  • Listen to your concerns without passing judgment
  • Answer your questions - or help find others who can
  • Offer information about UNO’s policies and procedures
  • Discuss and clarify your issues and concerns
  • Help identify and evaluate options to address your concerns
  • Coach you on how to deal with a conflict or problem yourself
  • Mediate a dispute or facilitate communication among people in conflict
  • Make referrals for other campus resources
  • Track perceived issues for trends without identifying anyone
  • Recommend changes to University policies or practices

For more information or to arrange an appointment, please visit the Ombuds Services website.
