UC Santa Cruz Chancellor Hints at Restoration of Ombuds Office

After the first in-person leadership team gathering since the COVID-pandemic began, University of California Chancellor Cynthia Larive laid out goals to improve student success on the bucolic, seaside campus. Among other goals, "Larive also shared that the campus is exploring the establishment of an ombuds office that could incorporate and augment UCSC’s conflict resolution model." UC Santa Cruz closed its Ombuds Office a decade ago, leaving it the only University of California campus without an Ombuds program. No additional details are currently available. (UCSC News.)
