In its commitment to an education that promotes individual autonomy in responsible decision-making, Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez encourages its students to develop a personality based on the use of individual freedom and the exercise of personal responsibility.
To make this possible, we have made a guarantee to the university community that our university constitutes a safe space free from discrimination and committed to gender equality and inclusion in diverse aspects of university life.
In 2018 a new Harassment Protocol was approved, which involved the collaborative effort of a working group made up of representatives from throughout the university community. The outcome of this university-wide effort is a new Sexual Harassment Subcommittee and an Observatory, as well as the appointment of an Ombuds.
On April 17, 2019, Francisca Rengifo, professor of the School of Government, was named the new University Ombuds. In her role, she is responsible for receiving, helping and mediating any concerns or situations regarding harassment, sexual harassment and discrimination within our community, to promote an appropriate university coexistence. This figure is confidential, independent, impartial and informal, available to listen, provide relevant information about the Harassment Protocol and its procedures, and help whosoever comes with concerns, so that the affected party can define his or her options, communicate an event and register a complaint.
The Ombuds is located in office 275, Building A and can be reached at (562) 2331 1197 or by email at ombudsuai@uai.cl and francisca.rengifo@uai.cl.
