Brock University Ombuds Reports on Year of Expanded Program

When Kelly Barker became the new Ombudsperson for public university in St. Catharines, Ontario, one of her first initiatives was to expand her service to the entire campus. Now, after a year and a half in the role, she has published her first annual report. Most of her 348 cases in the academic year 2020-21 came from undergraduate students, but faculty and staff cases are growing. Another change in the past year has been the creation of an Ombudsperson Oversight Committee that includes student, faculty and staff representatives. (Brock Ombuds Annual Report.)
