Ombuds Services
What We Do
We help resolve work-related concerns.
Ombuds Services at California State University, East Bay is an independent, neutral resource for informal problem-solving. The mission is to provide a safe place where employees may talk in confidence about a conflict, complaint, or issue with an impartial third party (the Ombuds). Because the Ombuds is impartial, visitors to the office can speak candidly about their concerns without fear of reprisal. Following the standards of practice as defined by the International Ombudsman Association, the Office of Ombuds Services is a confidential, independent, impartial, and informal resource for members of the university community (staff, faculty, and administrators) at California State University, East Bay.
