Comments: 
Formerly "Faculty Ombudsman", now ": University Ombuds" revised to reflect a resource, now available to all UNT employees, to informally raise and address work-related concerns with the University Ombuds. The policy defines key terms (e.g., confidential, independent, and informally) and provides the responsibilities of the University Ombuds. Revisions to this policy are effective as of 5/3/2010.
