Students Launch Petition for Ombuds at University of Saskatchewan

The Graduate Students Association at the public research university in Saskatoon is debating the issue of an Ombuds. The organization has published a statement of why U of S might want to consider an Ombuds and a list of other Canadian universities with Ombuds or student advocacy offices. In addition, a petition to establish an Ombuds is available for students to sign.

The University of Saskatchewan enrolls about 21,000 students. (U of S GSA Student Advocacy Document, Petition for an Ombudsperson at the U of S.)
