Glenda Edwards faces possible disciplinary action from the university.
Athletics spokesman Doug Walker said Edwards admitted to using department stationary to write the one-page letter to St. Clair County Circuit Court Judge Charles Robinson.
She was seeking a sentence of probation for former correctional officer Tommie Borden.
Borden and a former prison guard were convicted in June of second-degree promoting prison contraband and received two years in prison.
Walker said Edwards was not available for comment.
