Dutch Association of Higher Education Ombudsmen Creates Website

The Association of Higher Education Ombudsmen (Vereniging Ombudsmannen in het Hoger Onderwijs, "VOHO") comprises two dozen Ombuds at colleges and universities across the Netherlands. The association was formed officially in 2019, but originated in 2001 as the National Consultation Ombudsmen in Higher Education (Landelijk Overleg Ombudsmannen in het Hoger Onderwijs). The new website provides a history, news items, articles, and other information. Previously, VOHO's web page had been hosted by the European Network of Ombuds in Higher Education.
