I don't share letters of recommendation for college applicants on our team with anyone - I treat it as discrete correspondence. My job performance evaluation isn't shared with my peers - it's limited to my management, HR and myself. I would prefer our Dean's List nominations to be handled in a similar manner.

I agree.
If I can't write a positive recommendation for a student, I tell the student.
I've been fortunate to write lots of very positive recommendations. Given some notice, it is one of my favorite things to do. But I never share the recommendation with the student for college applications or for internships or for jobs.
This missed opportunity pains me.
