Dear: ________________________________
           (Recommender's Name)

_____________________________________has asked you to write a letter of recommendation for future employment. If you are willing to write such a letter, we ask that it be typed on official letterhead stationery and submitted directly along with this form to the Career Services Office indicated above. If you are not comfortable writing a letter of recommendation, we suggest that you tell the requester you are uncomfortable with his/her request and that he/she might want to ask someone else. A student's candidacy may be hurt with a lukewarm reference letter.
 
Under the Federal Law P.L. 93-380 (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974), also known as the Buckley Amendment, students have a right to read letters of recommendation housed in their dossier. The bottom portion of this form indicates whether the student making this request retains or waives this right.

If you have any questions about writing a letter of recommendation or the Career Services'
guideline for the establishment of a dossier, do not hesitate to contact me at 708/235-3974.

James Opon, Director

I understand that according to the Federal Law P.L. 93-380 (Family Education Rights and
Privacy Act of 1974), also known as the Buckley Amendment, I have a right to read letters
of recommendation housed in my dossier.
