Office of the Ombuds

The Ombuds is a confidential resource available to all faculty, staff, postdocs, students or other members of the Stanford community. Visitors to the Ombuds office are welcome to discuss any concern that is interfering with their academic or work life. The Ombuds will hear and discuss your concerns, identifying and evaluating options to resolve problems. They can also help you to open avenues of communication and gather more information about your situation. The Ombuds is an informal resource that does not make, change or set aside policies or decisions, but reasons with, persuades and encourages people to act decently and fairly.

Call (650) 497-1542 to contact Brenda Berlin, University Ombuds, or send email to ombuds@stanford.edu.
