University Ombuds Team

Have a workplace or academic concern? Not sure where to turn? MSU Denver’s Ombuds Team can help.

The ombuds resource provides a confidential, off-the-record space where faculty, staff, administrators and student-employees can share their concerns, explore possible next steps toward resolution and become better equipped to move forward productively.

Ombuds team members can share relevant University resources and policies, talk through ways to raise an issue informally or formally, coach people through how to have difficult conversations, facilitate conversations between two or more people, work with groups in conflict, and more.

The MSU Denver Ombuds Team was established under a charter approved by the President of MSU Denver. The charter incorporates by reference the Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice of the International Ombuds Association (IOA) and requires adherence by the MSU Denver Ombuds Team. The charter, as well as the IOA Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice, contain important information about the MSU Denver Ombuds Team and the manner in which it functions.
