An informal committee of students and senior staff at the University of Ottawa is continuing its work on issues involving the rights and responsibilities of members of the campus community. Although the committee withdrew its recommendation for a code of conduct, its proposal for a university Ombuds program has gained traction. Bruce Feldthusen, the university's dean of Common Law and a member of the informal committee said there was no dispute on having an Ombudsperson for students and staff. "Since we just began, I don't want to say in any way what the outcome is going to be. My sense of it is we will see a more balanced appreciation of rights and responsibilities on all sides, (and) hopefully we will get there through good dialogue and mutual respect."
