What is the Ombuds Office?
Beginning with the 2007-2008 academic year, Carleton College will open an Ombuds Office for faculty and staff. The Ombuds office offers a confidential, impartial, objective, and informal alternative for resolution of work-related concerns. It is an independent office that reports directly to the Vice President and Treasurer of the College. The Ombuds person, Joanne Jirik Mullen, will not advocate or represent any person or position. Rather, the Obmuds will support a fair process and adhere to the value of fair treatment, respect, and civility. The Ombuds is confidential and does not serve as an office of record. It will not disclose information without the express authority from the person providing the information. The office is located at 202 Hoppin House. For appointments, contact Ms. Mullen at jbmullen@comcast.net or 507-222-4569.
