I have been asked to submit reference letters. Since I currently teach at MCC, can my letters be from fellow faculty members?
The College’s Human Resources Policies (#5402) state, “Only the employee’s current and past immediate supervisors and the supervisor of the immediate supervisor may respond to requests for references on current or former employees…” Someone serving in a quasi-supervisory role, such as program coordinator or a member of a probationary faculty evaluation committee may also qualify to write a letter of reference. However, if the letter writer serves on the screening committee for the vacancy, it would not be appropriate for him/her to submit a letter.
