—about fairness and assessing.
There are some standards today, as the office and other ombuds' offices around the country have matured, with a focus on fairness. You will see a change in the tone of recommendations, from the earliest days of our office to the later days, and how things are worded.
Often, they were open-scoped. They were things that would have been very much nice to have, as opposed to being focused on a fairness assessment. Some of them have been taken off for that. Some of them have been removed just because of time.
Our position is that if it's still a really relevant and ongoing issue, we will do an update report on it. After 10 years, we really start to look at it. If the department hasn't moved on it after 10 years, we are probably going to either drop it or do a new, updated report to push that issue again.
