records1966-201024.23 cubic feetCollection materials are in
English.Records of the Ombud officeThe 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.
