The University Ombudsperson is a confidential, independent, neutral, and informal resource for the MSU community. The Ombudsperson helps individuals navigate university-related concerns, understand university policies, explore their rights and responsibilities, and consider options. The office provides a safe, off-the-record space to talk. It does not take sides, make decisions, or participate in formal grievance or disciplinary processes. Visit https://ombud.msu.edu/. Phone 1-517- 353-8830 or e-mail ombud@msu.edu.
