Statute of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia
TITLE V - Transitional and final provisions
Art. 48 - Council of Guarantors and Ombudsman
The Board of Guarantors can be constituted as a body of technical-legal support to the governing bodies of the University, with the task of formulating an opinion, on the proposal of the bodies themselves, regarding the correct interpretation and application of the Statute and the autonomy regulations, or to their modification or revision. The Board of Guarantors is made up of three members designated, with their consent, by the Academic Senate and the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the Rector, among the professors, researchers or managers of the University with proven preparation and experience on a legal-administrative level.
The University can establish the Ombudsman as a body to guarantee the impartiality, timeliness and correctness of the University's activities. The Ombudsman is chosen among people with particular qualifications from outside the University. The University General Regulations govern the procedures and criteria for the establishing and functioning of the Board of Guarantors and the Ombudsman.
