The Student Ombudsman mediates between students and faculty members or administrative services of the University and, more generally, ensures compliance with legality in student-related matters, always within the framework of academic freedom and the proper functioning of the Institution. The Ombudsman investigates cases either ex officio or following a report submitted by a student and mediates with the competent bodies of the University for their resolution. In the exercise of these duties, the Student Ombudsman may request from the University’s services any information, documents, or other evidence related to a case, examine individuals, conduct on-site inspections, and order expert evaluations. If it is determined that, in a particular case, legality is not being observed or the proper functioning of the Institution is disrupted, the Ombudsman intervenes by all appropriate means to resolve the issue. The Student Ombudsman does not have jurisdiction over matters related to examinations and student grading.
