May we have a little different twist on age discrimination please, maestro? http://aarp.us/w1QnM4
If you don't think there's still age discrimination in hiring, you haven't applied for a job lately with 50-something, much less 60-something years showing on your resume (CV). Candidates in their twenties and thirties with one-tenth the qualifications and experience in academic advisement and other student services are hired over late 50s and early 60s candidates, who are often not even interviewed. I saw this happen to Sue three different times several years ago. She has literally decades of experience and relevant academic degrees (B.S. Ed. and M.Ed., including 200+ credits [400+ in European ECTS equivalents] worth of coursework, much of it post-M.Ed.). If she were the suing type, we'd be on Easy Street with the settlements.
