George Mason University is accepting applications for a Faculty Employee Relations Partner. This new position "will act as ombudsperson for faculty issues including coaching, mediation, team building, stress management, work/life balance, interpersonal conflict, work-related and personal concerns, and performance issues and other issues that may arise." A master's degree is highly preferred; and extensive related work experience, preferably in the public sector or higher education is required. (GMU Jobs, via SHRM.)
Since the position is part of HR, there is some comfort in the fact that it is not titled as an "Ombuds." However, GMU faculty may be suspicious (and rightly so) that they will truly receive confidential consultations from HR.
