Faculty Ombuds
The Faculty Ombuds is a valuable resource for full-time faculty, providing impartial, confidential and informal assistance to help resolve conflicts or issues that may arise in the academic or workplace environment.
Faculty Affairs
The Director of Faculty Affairs is a fundamentally collaborative role. In addition to chairing Villanova’s Board of Academic Integrity, the Director works jointly with faculty governance and University administration to develop, improve, and implement policies that serve faculty across the institution.
