Word of the day: Ombudsman

 Dear Class,

Remember when I said that there was a word for the person who reads all the complaint letters?  This is it:

Ombudsman, n.: A person appointed to investigate complaints against maladministration by a particular category of organization or in a particular area of public life, such as local authorities, hospitals, or pensions.

2. In extended use: a person who handles complaints, a mediator; a spokesperson for the rights of a particular individual or group.

"ombudsman, n." Oxford English Dictionary Online. Sept. 2011. Oxford University Press. Web. 8 Nov. 2011.

Enjoy~
