Clark University Names First Ombuds
The private university in Worcester, Massachusetts has appointed Israela Brill-Cass as its first Ombudsperson for 500 plus faculty and staff. Clark has been considering an Ombuds since at least 2010, when students petitioned for an Ombuds after a staff strike. Brill-Cass starts on November 12, 2020 and will report to Clark's new President, who started this summer. Meanwhile, she continues as the Ombuds for Wesleyan University, a position she established in 2017.
Brill-Cass is attorney and mediator with over twenty years of experience in the Boston area. She has been recognized as a "New England Super Lawyer" and "Top Woman Attorney in Alternative Dispute Resolution," and she teaches dispute resolution at Emerson College. Brill-Cass graduated from Brandeis University and earned her JD at Suffolk University Law School. (Clark Now; LinkedIn.)
