The University of Iowa search committee for the new university ombudsperson has selected three final candidates. The candidates will participate in open forums March 28 to April 1 where they will meet with faculty, staff, students, shared governance, and campus leadership.
The open forums will be in person. To accommodate all schedules, a Zoom link will be available, and questions may be submitted via chat to the forum moderator.
The dates, times, and locations of the forum are as follows:
- 9 to 10 a.m. Tuesday, March 29
