Ombuds Position Announcement
POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT 2014-15
FACULTY OMBUDS
The Faculty Senate Executive Committee is in the
process of identifying an experienced full professor interested in serving as
the Faculty Ombuds. This is a new position created for the purpose of providing
informal assistance to WSU faculty in addressing University-related complaints,
conflicts or problems involving or affecting them. The goal of the WSU Faculty
Ombuds is to help faculty solve problems early, informally, and at the lowest
levels to minimize the need to pursue formal grievance procedures. The Ombuds
uses conflict resolution methods such as mediation, facilitation, conciliation
and shuttle diplomacy to help resolve issues.
The position is for a 3-year term.
The appointment is to begin
Fall 2015 through the Summer of 2018.
Quarter time release will be given.
Following the first year, the position will be reviewed to determine what
compensation (released time, money,
summer stipend, etc.) is warranted by the position.
At the end of each year, the Ombuds will provide
a summary report to the Faculty Senate Executive Committee describing the work
s/he has done throughout the year.
The successful candidate should be a full
professor with at least 10 years of service at Weber State with knowledge of
university departments, administration, policies and procedures. The ideal
candidate should also possess strong communication skills including listening
and conflict resolution methods such as mediation, facilitation, conciliation
and shuttle diplomacy. The candidate should also demonstrate the ability to be
impartial to help resolve issues and be able to keep all information
confidential. Training may be provided as needed.
Applicants should email or send a brief vita
(not to exceed 3 pages focusing on Ombuds related experiences) and letter
outlining your interest and experiences to Brenda Stockberger, 210J Miller
Administration Building, MC 1033 or bstockberger@weber.edu by February 1,
2015.
Review of applicants will begin immediately.
