Should there be affirmative action for the less attractive? A college professor thinks, "yes."
This doesn't interest me as much as the obvious expanse of time the average collegiate employee must have on his hands. I'm thinking new career move for yours truly. A few years of college and boom.
I sit in a room all day pondering ways to create a new class of victims. Affirmative action for the...short? Tall? Left-handed? Straight-haired? Freckled? Lactose intolerant?
Great questions from Megyn. Not great answers from Hamermesh. The industries most notably "bias", if you want to call it that, concerning beauty - Hollywood, modeling, even strip clubs - the professor feels should be exempted. Is there a rash of stunning accountants out there? An onslaught of beautiful executives? Too many pretty drive-through cashiers at the local McDonalds?
Academia: Where thinking shouldn't get in the way of a long career.
