What is the difference between the OCC and the Ombudsman?
Unlike campus counsel's office, the Office of the Ombudsperson does not provide legal advice. Rather it is an impartial resource that functions independently of other entities on campus so that any member of the UCR community can confidentially consult with the Ombudsperson to informally explore resolution of UCR related concerns.
