The Ombuds Office is a neutral, informal, and confidential resource for anyone in the Columbia University community who needs help to address a concern or resolve a conflict. The Ombuds Officers will listen, provide information and suggest a range of options. With permission, the Ombuds Officer can also mediate or facilitate communication between or among individuals or offices. The Ombuds Officers may suggest system change while maintaining individuals' confidentiality.

The Ombuds Office supplements but does not replace existing formal or informal channels for conflict resolution. The Ombuds Office is independent from all other offices in the University and reports directly to the President of the University.

Students on the Medical Center campus can arrange meetings in the Ombuds Office on either the Morningside or Medical Center campus. For further information, contact the Ombuds Office.
