Austin Peay State University Begins Work on Faculty Ombuds Position

Faculty at APSU, the public university in Clarksville, are looking at creating an Ombuds program. A presentation at the latest faculty senate meeting included information from regional peer institutions with Ombuds programs (University of Memphis, University of Tennessee Knoxville, East Tennessee State University, and Baylor University). Professors Margaret Rennerfeldt and Mickey Wadia made the presentation. So far, the APSU faculty senate has not considered a motion regarding an Ombuds. (APSU Faculty Senate.)
