| Feb 25, 2021 at 7:43 | comment | added | Ben | Perhaps it would help if you could spell out what you think are the negatives of this disclosure --- it is not clear to me what negative implication you might be drawing from it, so it is hard to give advice. | |
| Feb 14, 2021 at 10:33 | comment | added | user541686 | "It'd be hard not to let that disclosure influence my or my department's thinking"... I beg to differ. This should be easy to ignore, because I don't think there are any negative conclusions you can draw with high confidence even if you didn't ignore it. | |
| Feb 13, 2021 at 14:44 | comment | added | Zach H | @knzhou For the case in question, I agree with you. I'm more asking, "are there things I can do to address possible negative outcomes from the letter writer's disclosure elsewhere" | |

You shouldn't preemptively reject them because you suspect your local hospital isn't good enough -- you should ignore that information and let them decide for themselves later. | |

| Feb 12, 2021 at 20:39 | comment | added | Anonymous Physicist | My reading of "husband works at a hedge fund" was that you should hire this person because they are so wealthy they can survive on the puny salaries you are offering. | |
| Feb 12, 2021 at 20:38 | comment | added | Anonymous Physicist | Your title is very confusing because you are not asking if it is ethical to disclose something. | |

| Feb 12, 2021 at 19:34 | comment | added | user39093 | It seems you haven't consider the potential legal ramifications, especially if you plan to contact the writers of the letters. I'm in US, and direct considerations of anything other than merit can potentially land my university and hence myself in legal troubles. | |
