Berkeley Campus Policies on Confidentiality of Letters of Evaluation
Under University and Berkeley campus policies, the identity of authors of letters of evaluation which are included in the personnel review files of employees and applicants will be held in confidence. Access for employees to information in their personnel files is governed by the Provisions of the Academic Personnel Manual section 160. Although applicants generally do not have a right of access to their University files pursuant to the Academic Personnel Manual section 160, they do have a right of access to their files pursuant to the Information Practices Act.
Current employees may, upon request and at certain prescribed stages of the academic personnel review process, be provided access to such letters in redacted form. Redaction, in this case, is defined as the removal of identifying information (including name, title, institutional affiliation, and relationship to the candidate) contained either at the top of the letterhead or within and below the signature block of the letter of evaluation. The full text of the body of your letter will therefore be provided to the employee if so requested. Thus, any information that tends to identify the writer in the body of the letter, may become available to the employee. Letter writers may provide a brief factual statement regarding your relationship to the candidate at the end of your letter but below the signature block. This brief statement will be subject to redaction and will not be made available to the candidate.
The Information Practices Act (Section 1798.38 of the California Civil Code) states that information compiled for the purpose of determining an individual's qualification for employment must be disclosed to that individual. If the information was received with the promise that the identity of the source would be held in confidence, then the identity of the source may be withheld, either by redaction, which in addition to removal of letterhead and signature block, may also include removal of identifiers in the body of the letter, or by providing a comprehensive summary.
Although we cannot guarantee that at some future time a court or governmental agency will not require the disclosure of the source of confidential evaluations in University of California personnel files, we can assure you that the University will endeavor to protect the identity of authors of letters of evaluation to the fullest extent allowable under the law.
