Job Posting: University of Wyoming

The public land-grant research university in Laramie has opened a search for an Ombudsperson to serve staff and administrators. The full-time position will practice to IOA standards and will supplement but not be affiliated with the campus's first Student Ombuds, Dilnoza Khasilova, who started in November 2021.

The new Staff Ombuds will be located within the DEI Office, an arrangement explicitly opposed by the Staff Senate. (Last December, the UW Staff Senate passed a resolution supporting the creation of an Ombuds program "independent of Human Resources, Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, or Title IX office; and ... report[ing] to the President and the Board of Trustees.")

Applicants must have a Master's degree; at least four years of relevant experience; and a basic mediation certificate. Preferred qualifications include Certified Organizational Ombudsman Practitioner (CO-OP) or IOA certification. Applications are due by July 16, 2022. No salary indicated. (Higher Ed Jobs; UW Staff Senate Resolutions.)
