ÌÇÐÄVLOG Ombudspersons
In addition to providing procedures for formal complaints, ÌÇÐÄVLOG has designated and trained two members of the faculty and a member of the staff to serve as campus ombudspersons.

Available 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, the ombudspersons address issues such as workplace concerns and mistreatment, learning environment mistreatment, sexual harassment or peer harassment, hazing, discrimination, informal advice, and informational items.

The log asks Deans, Department Chairs, and Directors in every office on campus to log the date of the complaint, a description of the complaint, date of response, responder, and a description of how the complaint was resolved according to Citadel policy. ÌÇÐÄVLOGs should not use this form for making complaints.
