Welcome to the Office of Public Stewardship 

The MCCCD Office of Public Stewardship (OPS) was established in order to consolidate resources and formalize administrative responsibility for services that are related to stakeholder accountability. The Office of Public Stewardship is responsible for the Maricopa Concernline, Citizens’ Ombuds Services, Employee Ombuds Services, Public Records Disclosures,and Maricopa Governance. In addition, the OPS is responsible for establishing procedures for the administration of the MCCCD Tuition Waiver Program and monitoring the use of waivers by employees, dependents of employees, and non-employees authorized by state statute to attend our colleges on a waiver.

The Office is committed to demonstrating key policy values such as honesty, integrity, responsibility, and stewardship by assisting both internal and external constituents in identifying and utilizing the proper mechanisms to obtain information and resolve concerns. Inquiries on the available services may be directed to 480-731-8084.
