Guidelines for submitting letters for review
Before submitting your letter for review, please ensure that you have completed the following checklist:
- Remove or redact all personal identifying information (PII) per FERPA regulations (https://www2.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/index.html). A common example that may be appropriate for some letters include grades.
- Run the letter through a spell checker. Reviewers will also make note of spelling and grammar mistakes, but minimizing these will improve the reviewer's abillity to focus on identifiying instances of implicit bias.
- Run the letter through a gender-bias calculator.
- Provide the institution where the letter will be submitted.
- Provide the type of position the letter is being written for.
- Provide 3 suggested reviewers with their current email addresses and institutions.
- Read and agree to the code of conduct.
Please upload/send your letter for review as a text, .docx, or .pdf file to equitable.space.letters@gmail.com. Though we aim for a fast turn-around, nominal review times are 1 month.
