ReplyDeleteThanks, Jen! Post is now updated.
DeleteThe job description lists responsibilities that seem to conflict with IOA standards. For example: "As the designated point of contact for Title VI matters, the Ombudsperson will ensure compliance with federal regulations and coordinate educational initiatives related to discrimination based on race, color, and national origin." And "The Ombudsperson will also provide backup support for student conduct cases, ensuring fair and educational outcomes in collaboration with the Dean of Students Office."
ReplyDeleteCamden? Yikes! That is a tough sell at that salary in Jersey.
