Use for: Guidelines for Faculty and Staff Providing Ethical/Legal References & Referrals for Students

A FACULTY GUIDE TO ETHICAL AND LEGAL STANDARDS

As a faculty member, you can support the career aspirations of your students and graduates as they connect their coursework to their career goals and complement the work of career centers on your campus. Helping students in their job and internship searches can sometimes raise unanticipated legal or ethical issues, and this short guide is intended to provide you with guidance in areas that you may encounter. Please note that this guide is not all encompassing: You should contact your institution’s legal counsel if you have concerns on how to address a particular issue.

The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) has developed a Faculty Guide to help you navigate references and referrals of students in the most ethical way.
