Saitsa Advocacy Win:
The Office of the Ombudsperson
After years of advocating, Saitsa is pleased to highlight the “Office of the Ombudsperson” at SAIT, a valuable resource designed to assist students with both academic and non-academic challenges, including allegations, hearings, and appeals.
About the Ombudsperson
The Ombudsperson is:
- Independent — reviews concerns without direction or influence from any member of the SAIT community.
- Impartial — considers issues from a third-party perspective and does not advocate for one person or SAIT.
- Accessible — provides services to all members of the SAIT community.
- Informal — attempts to resolve an issue at the lowest level possible.
- Confidential — listens to concerns and discusses your options in strict confidence. The Ombudsperson will not confirm you spoke to her or act on your concern without your consent.
