In 1993, the Office of Affirmative Action was further separated from the Office of the Ombudsperson. The Office of Affirmative Action works with College representatives and committees to outline affirmative action goals, policies and procedures, while the Office of the Ombudsperson mainly deals with conflict resolution involving discrimination and harassment.
