University of Ottawa Considering Ombuds Program

Students unhappy over a proposed code of nonacademic conduct at the University of Ottawa are supporting number of administrative reforms, including the hiring of an Ombuds for the university. At a senate meeting on May 5, outgoing President Gilles Patry acknowledged the university’s openness to consider an Ombuds program, which students have hailed as a small victory in the movement against the code. Further action on the Ombuds proposal is not expected until September. (The Fulcrum; U of Ottawa Senate Minutes [Google translation]).
