A message from The Argosy Ombudsperson
Have you, or do you know someone who has ever felt wronged by The Argosy? Do you approve or disapprove of the direction The Argosy is taking? Is there a staff member or has there been a story that has left you offended?
Talk to me; I want to hear about it. As the newly-appointed Ombudsperson for The Argosy, my duties include being a reference for individuals seeking information regarding the policies, procedures and practices of The Argosy and to investigate any complaint, injury or grievance that might be made against it. In the latter scenario, I will also act as an impartial mediator between The Argosy and the plaintiff(s), either recommending that the grievance be settled with a change of policy or if it should be referred to other authorities in accordance with the constitution of The Argosy.
The Argosy is funded in part by the students and the Ombudsperson's role is designed to use your feedback to create a useful dialogue between the staff and the readership and to provide accountability and transparency. Along with my position as Ombudsperson, I am also a member of the Publication Board of Directors of Argosy Inc. as a student-at-large, and as such it has been my responsibility to represent the students of Mount Allison University on the Board in a way that reflects the intelligence and engagement of the readership of The Argosy on campus. I look forward to working with the staff of The Argosy and the readership in my new role, and promise to fulfill my duties with integrity and enthusiasm.
Sincerely,
Scott Green
