Ombudsman (including conflict resolution)

• Contact Dr. Crites
• The Ombudsman may serve individual faculty as a source of information, confidential advice, and assistance in resolving serious concerns involving individual faculty members and may serve as an initial point of contact for an individual faculty grievance. However, the Ombudsman does not address collective concerns of the faculty body.
• The Ombudsman may meet with relevant administration or other faculty to assist with resolving the faculty member’s concern. In doing so, the Ombudsman will keep all information shared by the faculty member confidential unless either authorized to share by the faculty member, or ethical and legal duties compel them to disclose.
• Mediation services are also available.

Promoting equity and diversity amongst the faculty

The AU/UGA Medical Partnership encourages a diverse, inclusive environment that is supportive of faculty, students, and staff. The OFAD collaborates with the Office of Student Affairs on our campus, and the related offices on AU’s and UGA’s respective campuses.
