A student has requested that I write a recommendation for him or her in support of an application for employment. May I discuss the student’s academic and personal information?
In general, you may do so if the student has requested in writing that you submit a recommendation. There is a place on many forms for the student to authorize release of such information. Alternatively, you may seek a student’s written consent online through the Penn Portal by clicking on the “Online Consent Form” under “My Privacy Settings,” or via a Penn paper consent form.
