Faculty Registrar
He has three small children and devotes all his free time to his family. He is interested in modern technology, and if he had more time, he would also spend some of it on computer games. He enjoys searching for the objectively best possible solutions to various situations. At heart, he is a teacher who enjoys spreading and sharing knowledge of all kinds.
Ombudsmen
The role of ombudsmen is to help create an equal, welcoming and safe learning environment and to evaluate students´ complaints and proposals. These motions may relate to issues that cannot be addressed within the Faculty standards. Assistance is offered in matters of addressing inequitable, unfair and unjust treatment; in discrimination issues and safe environment concerns. Ombudsmen can assist in formulating a report, mediating or conducting a mediation meeting.
Ombudsmen do not have decision-making powers, they cannot interfere in academic processes, and they also try to act pre-emptively.
Neutrality, independence and impartiality are essential to the ombudsman´s work. All communication with students is confidential. The objective towards which the ombudsmen´s actions are always focused is agreement.
