Ombuds Returns to University of Idaho

David Talbot has been selected as U of I's University Ombudsperson. Reporting to the University President, Talbot will serve all 15,000 stakeholders at the state's land-grant and primary research university. Talbot comes to the position with significant Ombuds experience, most recently as a consultant for the World Food Programme. It's a bit of a homecoming for Talbot: He earned his JD at the University of Idaho. He follows Laura Smythe, who recently moved to a similar position at Iowa State University.

Talbot's extensive career as an Ombuds also includes appointments at The Coca-Cola Company and The World Bank. Since 2010, he has also been an instructor at Pepperdine University's Law School, where he teaches a course about Ombuds. Talbot graduated from Utah State University and earned his MDRS from Pepperdine University. (LinkedIn.)
