National Association of College and University Ombudsmen (NACUO)

The National Association of College and University Ombudsmen (NACUO) is an organization that supports professionals known as ombudsmen who work in colleges and universities. Ombudsmen serve as neutral advisors, helping students, faculty, and staff resolve conflicts and concerns informally. NACUO provides resources, training, and networking opportunities for these professionals, promoting best practices in conflict resolution and ensuring fairness in the higher education environment. By fostering open communication, NACUO aims to enhance the overall campus climate and address issues effectively before they escalate.
