Can faculty and staff members who have told students in the past that they would provide references, continue to do so without consent from the student?
No. Faculty and staff members should not provide a reference, written or verbal, without the consent of the student. In the case of a written reference, consent in writing is preferred. The request or even a copy of the application or resume in which you are named as referee can be forwarded by mail, e-mail or fax and will serve as consent if necessary.
