Historical NoteReturn to Top
The University of Washington appointed its first Ombud in 1969. The Office of the Ombud was not intended to replace existing University governance or appeal procedures. The purpose was to improve communications regarding University operations and to enable members of the University community to protect their rights and have their concerns responded to efficiently and effectively.
In 1979, the University of Washington became the first higher education institution in the nation to establish the office of the Ombudsman for Sexual Harassment. The role of the Ombudsman for Sexual Harassment was discontinued in 2008 with the creation of the Title IX/ADA Coordinator, but the Ombud continues to provide support around these issues. All programs and services are designed for faculty, staff, students, alumni, visitors, and others who use the University’s facilities and services.
The University Ombud is appointed by the President in consultation with student, staff, and faculty representatives. The appointment is confirmed by the Faculty Senate.
