The Ombuds Program — a confidential, neutral, informal and independent conflict resolution and management resource — is open to assist any member of the Georgia Institute of Technology community seeking assistance.

The Office of the Provost is home to the ombuds serving faculty and graduate students; the Office of Human Resources manages the program for classified staff.

This Program's practices and procedures are guided by the Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics (.pdf) established by the International Ombudsman Association (IOA).

Prohibition of Retaliation

Attempts to intimidate or retaliate against a person for utilizing the Georgia Tech Ombudsman Program is contrary to the program's purpose and is unacceptable. Persons who make such attempts will be subject to disciplinary action.
