The Student Ombudsman is the protector of the rights of university students at the Faculty of Social Sciences of the Charles University. The Ombudsman’s function is to ensure the rapid and effective resolution of a wide range of problems experienced by students. On the most basic level such problems may be communication difficulties and misundertandings. They may also result from questions of unfairness and involve rights which all students and employees of the faculty have in connection with their studies and activities in the academic community. They may also involve other entities of the existing structure of the FSV UK. Student Ombudsmen will be supported by the Academic Senate of the FSV UK and, as needed, by the Faculty leadership.
