What is an Ombud at SUS?
An ombud at SUS works with individual cases where students and PhD students find themselves in a difficult situation or encounter problems in their contact with the University. The Ombud provide support throughout the process and can, for example, provide legal advice, help with contacting relevant people at the University, act as support in disciplinary matters, and draft letters and potential appeals. The Ombud’ objective is to take the rights of the students and PhD students into consideration when issues regarding their studies arise.
How do SUS’ Ombud handle sensitive information about me?
All student matters are handled confidentially. This means that no one other than the Ombud who handles your case may take part of the information. If the Ombud is in contact with other parties that are relevant to the case, for example the University itself, then the Ombud must handle the personal information with care and in agreement with the student in question’s wishes.
