With Act n. 27/2015 the role of Student Ombudsman was established.
The Student Ombudsman, currently Professor Giovanni Battista Traverso, has the task of intervening to protect students who believe their rights or interests have been violeted due to abuse, dysfunction, delays attributable to measures or actions including omissions by university bodies or offices.
The Student Council or individual students can contact the Ombudsman who, in compliance with the regulatory legislation, expresses an opinion and may intervene by reporting to the competent authorities. The Ombudsman’s opinions are not binding.
The Student Ombudsman is also responsible for overseeing and monitoring student-managed activities in the fields of culture, cultural exchanges, information, sport and free time; formulating criteria for evaluation, funding and verification of these activities, after consulting with the Student Council and the Academic Senate.
The Student Ombudsman must also present a report on the activity carried out to the Academic Senate and the Student Council; listen to the needs of students, including personal and individual concerns, in order to provide evaluations and guidance aimed at resolving the issues raised. The Student Ombudsman may request support from the University Legal Office and the Student Administration Office.
A sufficiently broad availability of the Student Ombudsman should ensure timely reception and prompt action towards resolving various requests.
To schedule an appointment with the Student Ombudsman, you can call or write to the Student Administration Office, or send an email directly to garantedeglistudenti@unirsm.sm
