Daemen College Ombuds Serves Faculty

The private liberal arts college in Amherst, New York appointed William C. Barba as its first Faculty Ombudsperson in 2018. The initial one-year pilot program was later approved by the faculty senate. A website for the office went live last week. Barba reports to the Daemen's Vice President for Academic Affairs and practices to IOA standards. 

Previously, Barba was a Clinical Professor of Higher Education at the State University of New York at Buffalo from 1998 to 2018. He has nearly five decades of college administration experience, including stints at St. Bonaventure University and Canisius College. He earned a BA and MS from St. Bonaventure, and a PhD from SUNY Buffalo. (Daemen Ombuds.)
