Ombuds at University of Kansas Releases 2021 Annual Report

According to an article in the Daily Kansan, the KU Ombuds Office handled 174 cases in the 2020-21 academic year. Acting University Ombuds Ada Emmett said that interdepartmental conflict and graduate advisor issues where the leading concerns of visitors. Unclassified staff visitors accounted for 27% of cases, followed by tenure-track faculty at 19%. The KU Ombuds serves undergraduate students, but does not promote its services to that population. Emmett also said that COVID-19 was also a factor in many cases. (Daily Kansan.)
