Welcome to The University of Iowa Ombudsperson's Office. The office offers informal dispute resolution for students, faculty and staff. Our mission is to see That all members of the University community are treated fairly. However, we see ourselves as much more than a complaint office; we serve as an information resource as well. The office provides a confidential, safe place to discuss any concerns you might have about the University or its policies or procedures, and we will direct you to the appropriate office for answers to your concerns. This web page will answer some general questions about the Ombud's Office and provide other resources for your perusal. We hope you will explore the various sections of the web page and that you find this information helpful.

The Office's 2005-2010 Strategic Plan has been recently updated, and can now be viewed online (PDF).

Please feel free to contact the office if you have any questions at 319/335-3608 or by e-mail at ombudsperson@uiowa.edu. General information about the office is also available via the University's RING service (319/335-3244), script number 004.
