Ohio University has announced that its Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) unit will now operate under a new department as part of an effort to strengthen risk management services for the university community. The transition is aimed at improving operational efficiency and ensuring a proactive approach to managing risks across the institution.
According to the university, the move is designed to centralize risk management functions, allowing for better coordination and a streamlined process in identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks. The ERM unit plays a critical role in addressing a wide range of risks, including those related to campus safety, data security, and financial operations.
In a statement, university leaders emphasized that the transition will not disrupt current services but will instead enhance their effectiveness. They highlighted the importance of a comprehensive risk management strategy in supporting the university’s mission and safeguarding its resources.
The new department will provide key services such as risk assessments, incident response planning, and business continuity strategies. Additionally, it will support faculty, staff, and students by offering guidance on managing potential risks associated with research activities, campus events, and operational projects.
University officials stated that this move reflects their ongoing commitment to improving institutional resilience and ensuring a safe environment for the entire university community. They added that the transition aligns with broader efforts to modernize administrative processes and support long-term strategic goals.
The ERM unit encourages members of the Ohio University community to reach out with questions or seek support for risk-related concerns as they continue their work under the new department.
