Presumably, none of the usual suspects wanted to apply because too many of the numerous duties would not comply with the IOA Standards of Practice? And then there are the news stories about Oberlin in recent months. Sounds like a challenge.

ReplyDeleteYou're right. Interesting and unexpected.
DeletePerhaps an HR accident?
DeleteOne wonders whether the brief re-posting was because they had identified someone that they wanted to apply for the position. In any event, with all of the after-hours obligations and this being non-IOA compliant, what's not to love?
ReplyDeleteHah!
DeleteI may be in the minority, but I don't view Ombuds as first responders and therefore should not be available 24/7.
I don't know anyone in this profession who view Ombuds as first responders, but if that's really the case, I'm in the minority with you, Tom.
