根据… 国际监察员协会, the Employee Ombuds serves as a neutral 独立的, 非正式的, and confidential resource to help faculty and staff navigate and address workplace issues. Faculty and Staff initiate the support of the Employee Ombuds and options generated are used at their discretion. The Employee Ombuds Office differs from Human Resources and other conflict resolution services because it is 独立的 of any formal university process. 如果你的担心需要一个正式的程序, you will be referred to other appropriate resources or office(s). The Employee Ombuds can report anonymous trend data and bring systemic concerns to the University for resolution.

The 博天堂官方 Employee Ombuds Office would like to recognize the People of the Three Fires: the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi peoples on whose land we are gathered. The Three Fires People are indigenous to this land which means that this is their ancestral territory. Every university is built on stolen, native land. We are guests on their land and one way to practice right relations is to develop genuine ways to acknowledge the histories and traditions of the people who originated here first, 谁还在这里, 总是照料土地的人. 当我们向这片土地致谢时, 我们知道这只是重要的第一步, and that there are many more that we need to take when we decide to engage in the important work of social justice.
