Office of the Faculty Ombuds, Danforth Campus

Welcome to the Office of the Faculty Ombuds at Washington University in St. Louis, a neutral resource for problem resolution available to faculty members on the Danforth Campus.

The Office of the Faculty Ombuds offers assistance in the informal resolution of campus-related conflicts. We advocate for fair treatment and process. We follow four distinctive principles:

• Confidentiality
• Independence
• Impartiality/Neutrality
• Informality

Professor Peggie R. Smith is available by appointment to meet with any Danforth Campus faculty colleagues who seek a safe place to discuss concerns related to interactions with others at the university, its policies or its procedures. The Ombuds Office strives to help visitors clarify their concerns, navigate difficult conversations, and identify and consider options, including possible referrals to other offices or resources.
