Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard Names Next Ombuds

Israela Adah Brill-Cass has been retained as an independent contract Ombud for the collaborative organization that brings together researchers from MIT, Harvard, and Harvard-affiliated hospitals. (Richard Cohen was announced as the inaugural Ombuds for the Broad in May 2021, but it not clear whether he served in the position.) Brill-Cass is also currently serving as the Ombuds for Wesleyan University and Clark University.

Before becoming an Ombuds, Brill-Cass was attorney and mediator with over twenty years of experience in the Boston area. She has been recognized as a "New England Super Lawyer" and "Top Woman Attorney in Alternative Dispute Resolution," and she teaches dispute resolution at Emerson College. Brill-Cass graduated from Brandeis University and earned her JD at Suffolk University Law School. (LinkedIn.)
