Idaho State University is Refreshing its Roster of Ombuds

ISU is seeking nominations for staff to join its group of part-time Ombuds. About seven faculty and staff make up the ISU Ombuds Program, which provides services only to university faculty and staff. The program has had a number of incarnations; In 2011, the Faculty Ombudsperson coordinated a faculty no confidence vote in the president and his office was subsequently shuttered for a short time. The current panel configuration has been in place for four years and practices to IOA standards.

The current slate of Ombuds includes: Jeremy Thomas, Director of Gender & Sexuality Studies Associate Professor of Sociology; James Yizar, Associate Director - Student Success Center/Assistant Director Athletics; Amy Christensen, TRIO Veterans Director; Kurtis Moser, Interactive Video Conferencing Class Specialist; Stacey Marshall, Assistant Director and Ombuds Coordinator; Stefanie Shadduck, Management Assistant- Academic Affairs/Institute of Rural Health; and Todd Johnson, Director - Veterans Student Services Center.
