The Ombuds Office at the University of Colorado Denver | Anschutz Medical Campus provides an alternative forum for prompt, impartial, and confidential discussion for individuals to review options for the informal resolution of differences.
Contacting the Ombuds Office is a voluntary process and neither the office nor any other entity or person may compel a visitor to utilize its services. We assist people with disagreements and a variety of conflict-related issues, such as working conditions, interpersonal interactions, grades, policies and procedures, sexual harassment, discrimination, and disciplinary actions.
The Ombuds Office possesses no formal decision-making authority, but rather provides options and resources for visitors in attempting to resolve their conflicts.
