Texas A&M Announces New Faculty Ombuds

John J. Buchanan has been named the Faculty Ombuds Officer for the state's flagship public university. Although Texas A&M has several Ombuds that serve particular schools or programs, Buchanan will serve faculty "at the university level." He succeeds George Welch, who served as Faculty Ombuds for the past three years.

Buchanan has taught at Texas A&M for over two decades as a Professor in the Department of Health and Kinesiology and also has served as division chair of Kinesiology. He has held a variety of administrative positions with a focus on faculty development and faculty conflict and resolution. (TAMU Provost News.)
