Have you seen the NC State Faculty Ombuds on campus?  If so, this is part of the Meet the Faculty Ombuds Program. The Faculty Ombuds, Roy Baroff, appreciates meeting on campus to learn more about the various colleges and departments at NC State.  He believes that a faculty ombuds office should be both separate and connected to the institution that it serves. Thus, Roy has made presentations at various Department and College meetings and you may see him in your department. If not, give him a call and schedule a short introductory presentation on the Faculty Ombuds Office.
