Dr. Carver helps lead international ombuds standards update
UNMC’s David Carver, PhD, played an integral role in the latest International Ombuds Association’s Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics. The newly released standards guide organizational ombuds practices worldwide.
Dr. Carver, director of UNMC’s ombuds program, co-chaired the IOA’s Standards of Practice/Code of Ethics Task Force and also served on the board of directors' final review team. Dr. Carver was one of the leaders throughout the project, which was done in phases over six years.
UNMC’s ombuds program is an independent, confidential, impartial, informal and free consultation service for students, faculty and staff. Ombudspersons help identify and evaluate options for dealing with problematic situations. They also provide interpersonal communication coaching and informal mediation.
