The University Ombuds Office is a Confidential, Independent, Impartial, and Informal problem-solving and conflict-management resource for all members of the Auburn family. We invite Auburn students, postdocs, staff, A&P, faculty, parents, and alumni with Auburn-related issues or concerns to make an appointment with us. The Ombuds can assist by listening to your concerns, clarifying issues, helping you brainstorm options, identifying policies and resources, and providing coaching and communication strategies.

Confidentiality is the defining characteristic of the Ombud Office. The identity of those seeking assistance from the Ombuds and all communications with them are confidential to the maximum extent permitted by law, and there are very limited exceptions. The Ombuds may disclose confidential information when the person seeking assistance gives permission, when failure to do so might result in an imminent risk of serious harm, when expressly required by law, or as necessary for the Ombuds to defend against a formal complaint of professional misconduct.
