  1. Disappointing Grade Level/Salary for those positions.
    Especially as they are asking fro doctoral level candidates.

    Shows again the concern of having the Federal Government rate and level positions relating to the Ombuds. It is seen (generally) as a minor transactional management function, rather than a systems impacting, transformational function.

    Suggests real care be taken by anyone (E.G. Coalition of Federal Ombuds) attempting to legislate the ombuds role or gain an OPM Job series rating for it.
