California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, has paused operations of its Office of Conflict Resolution and Ombuds just over a year after relaunching the program. A university spokesperson said the office is closed pending review. The closure came to light after the student newspaper inquired about a door sign indicating the office was not operating. The university has not issued a campus-wide announcement explaining the decision.
According to The Poly Post, Interim President Iris Levine informed the Academic Senate on March 18 that senior leadership is evaluating next steps but did not provide details on reopening. Mark Patterson, who was appointed Ombuds in January 2025 following a national search, did not respond to the newspaper’s request for comment. (Poly Post.)
