Due to the confidential, independent, informal, and impartial functions of the office, the Ombuds Office is not authorized to accept notice of claims against Auburn University. The Ombuds Office will keep conversations confidential unless an ombuds feels someone is at imminent risk of serious harm, is ordered by a court or regulatory authority to testify, or needs to defend themselves in a grievance or similar process. People may not be retaliated against for visiting the Ombuds Office. Ombuds Kevin Coonrod and Dona Yarbrough are registered mediators.
