Update: University of Mississippi Ombuds Offers Secure Data Portal

Ole Miss's University Ombuds, Paul Caffera, has implemented a new option for visitors to provide information. His website explains: "In response to myriad requests from Ombuds Office Visitors, the University of Mississippi’s Office of the Ombuds is now able to offer visitors a point-to-point secure method of exchanging documents with the Ombuds Office, bypassing systems controlled by the University and subject to possible eavesdropping by University administrators or other University personnel."

  1. It must be draining to work as an ombuds for an organization so hostile to the OO's confidentiality. Is Ole Miss an anomaly?

    1. Doing this work does require us to be brave. However, the situation at Ole Miss is extremely unusual. I have not seen anything like it during my 17 years of practice, nor has anyone I've heard from.
