Cal Poly Pomona Continuing Search for Next Ombuds

According to a campus newspaper, California State Polytechnic University in Pomona is still in the midst of hiring a Director of Conflict Resolution Services and University Ombuds. The search began in November 2023 and will restore a program that has been dormant since Cal Poly Pomona's last Ombuds, Lavada Austin, retired in 2020. This week, Dawn Osborne-Adams, Ombuds for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, spent two days as Cal Poly to answer questions and offer guidance on the Ombuds role. She met with the search committee and several other groups. No new timeline for this search has been announced yet. (Poly Post.)
