Michigan Tech Names Permanent Ombuds

Michigan Technological University has named William Kennedy as the University's Ombuds Officer. Kennedy has been filling the office temporarily since the summer of 2005, when the former ombuds went on sabbatical leave. University President Glenn Mroz spoke highly of Kennedy by saying, "Bill is a very fair person, and knows the university well. I think he’s had a number of experiences both here and at other universities that made him a good choice. I think he’s going to serve the university community very well." (Michigan Tech Lode.)
