The Buckley Ammendment:
Fight for Student Rights
(CPS) — Next time you ask
your professors for letters of
recommendation, either for a
job or graduate school ad
mission, be sure not to remind
them of the Buckley Amend
ment,
If you do, there is a good
chance the referral will be
almost meaningless, if not
misleading.
The Buckley Amendment, an
addition to the Educational
Rights and Privacy Act of 1974,
establishes rights for students
and parents to inspect their own
educational records and
prevents third-party access to
those files without written
permission from the student.
Professors who realize
students have the right to view
their own college files, including
those which contain copies of
letters of recommendation, have
become increasingly reluctant
to write critical, candid letters,
in the belief that students who
see themselves portrayed in a
poor light may come stamping
at the professor’s door. And,
according to the amendment,
the letters and all other papers
can be altered if the student
proves them to be inaccurate,
although a law suit might be
necessary.
This apprehension has led to
an influx of bland recom
mendations at graduate school
admissions offices and em
ployment offices.
Said one college president,
“What do you do if a kid is a
possible suicide and he wants
access to medical school?
Professors don’t want to risk law
suits to say that in a letter.” The
president, Keith Spalding, of
Marshall College in Lancaster,
Penn, is reported to have said he
“wouldn’t trust a written let
ter.”
A biology professor at Trinity
College in Connecticut says he
tells students who won’t promise
not to look at the letters thathe’ll
“be careful to avoid extremes,
use general rather than specific
adjectives, and, all-told, write a
bland and meaningless letter.”
Although similar examples
are not difficult to find, Dr.
Alfred Sumberg, the director of
government relations for the
American Association of
University Professors, said that
he couldn’t comment because
“there has been no major
protest by faculty.”
But, all this has resulted in
feelings by both professional and
educational admissions officers
that the written recom
mendation system is im
practical under the restrictions
of the Buckley Amendment.
Bloodmobile to
Visit Campus
The American Red Cross
Bloodmobile will be in Hardy
Alumni Hall on Thursday and
Friday of this week. All
students, faculty, and staff are
encouraged to help the ARC
meet its need for 450 pints of
blood.
Although many reasons are
imagined or invented for not
donating blood, four excuses
seem to be most common among
the members of our academic
community. Perhaps the
weakest excuse is, “No one has
ever asked me to donate blood.”
Well, consider yourself invited.
Just as lame is the catch-all,
“I’m too busy.” The entire
procedure takes approximately
45-60 minutes and the actual
donation takes less than 10
minutes. Is one hour too much
for anyone to spare when he or
she may help save someone’s
life?
Finally, many people seem to
be concerned that “thev’ll take
too much and I’ll feel weak.”
Naturally, giving blood affects
people differently, but because
your body discards old blood and
manufactures new blood con
tinually, the volume you give
(less than one pint) will be
replaced within hours. Any
feelings of dizziness or weakness
you might experience can be
reduced by having a good meal
before donating.

artistic expression and a mastery of technical facility that in
dicates photography by North Carolina artists has come of
age,” said Marshall.
