Students who submit reports to the Ombuds panel should feel safe that their complaints are confidential without risk of retaliation. If you feel you have been mistreated by any person at any time, please complete a Ombuds Complaint Form.
Visit the Ombuds Program webpage for more information on the committee’s mission and procedures.

Einstein has therefore adopted a policy of zero tolerance with respect to student/postdoctoral fellow mistreatment, which means that all reported instances of mistreatment will be fully investigated.
