A task force has been established to review the Ombuds Office and the Office of Rights and Responsibilities. Given the current mandates of both Offices, the following four questions will be asked:
* Are the mandates still appropriate?
* What are the needs of the University and how can the Ombuds Office and the Office of Rights and Responsibilities best meet those needs?
* Could the resources available to the units be assembled in ways that would better serve the University?
* Are there innovative approaches or strategies available to improve the quality of service?
In addition to receiving written briefs, the Task Force also will convene hearings for selected groups and individuals. Members of the University community (students, faculty and staff) are encouraged to submit, in writing, to the Task Force. Individuals and groups who wish to appear must submit written briefs with their request.
Written briefs and requests must be received by Friday, June 4, 1999. Send your submissions to us, in confidence, c/o Diane Hastings, BC 303, fax: 848-4550.
