Senate Faculty Ombudspersons (OMB)(link is external)
The Senate Faculty Ombudspersons (OMB) are faculty who function as an “organizational ombuds,” providing peer advice on conflicts and disputes in a private and informal manner. OMB subscribes to a code of conduct ensuring impartiality and confidentiality, but is not a Confidential Resource in the sense of the UC Policy on SVSH. In this way OMB differs from Student and Staff Ombuds. Rather than being trained professional ombudspersons, OMB are Senate faculty members; as such, they are Responsible Employees (see section 7.3.1) who must notify OPHD if they learn about violations of the UC Policy on SVSH.
