Yale Law School dean responds to reports that Kavanaugh hired women with 'certain look'
By Justin Wise - 09/20/18 08:03 PM EDT

The dean of Yale Law School on Thursday expressed "enormous concern" about reports that a professor at the school had advised students to have a "certain look" to earn a judicial clerkship with judge Brett Kavanaugh.

NBC News reports that Yale Law School Dean Heather Gerken sent a letter to the law school community on Thursday responding to reports that were published in both The Guardian and The Huffington Post.

Gerken said the "the allegations being reported are of enormous concern to me and to the School."

"While we cannot comment on individual complaints or investigations, the Law School and the University thoroughly investigate all complaints regarding violations of University rules and take no options off the table," Gerken wrote, before encouraging students and faculty to report misconduct incidents.

"The Law School has a responsibility to provide a safe environment in which all of our students can live and learn in a community of mutual respect, free of harassment of any kind."

NBC News noted that a spokeswoman for Yale Law School confirmed that the letter was written in response to news reports about "faculty conduct by two members of our faculty."

The letter was written amid reports that Amy Chua, a law professor at Yale, told a group of students that it was “not an accident” that Kavanaugh’s law clerks “look like models,” according to The Guardian.

Jed Rubenfeld, a professor and Chua's husband, also told a student on at least one occasion that Kavanaugh, now President Trump's nominee for the Supreme Court, "hires women with a certain look," according to the reports.

"He did not say what the look was and I did not ask," the student said, according to The Guardian.

"For the more than 10 years I've known him, Judge Kavanaugh’s first and only litmus test in hiring has been excellence. He hires only the most qualified clerks, and they have been diverse as well as exceptionally talented and capable," Chua said via email to NBC News.

I wonder if the journalists did their jobs and looked to see if the women did have a "certain look" or were all normal looking people.

That crossed my mind too. They can actually, check on this I would think. Perhaps the story is brand new.

LOL. So now the MSM is just going to make shit up from what some student tells them they heard and go with it. I am damn sure there is a record of who Brett was using and we can look right at them. If they don't look like a Robert Palmer video, it's total bullshit.

He only 'used' girls with a certain look. Wow. According to the American Left, Kavanaugh was Hugh Hefner's twin brother. Even though he's really just a pasty white government employee with a middle age beer belly.

All things being equal in terms of resume and qualifications, who would you hire?

Because the News Media hire all those fugly women to go on teevee and be newsreaders. Aside from most of the crew at The View, that is.

It is always pleasant to be surrounded by competent people who don't hurt the eyes. If it comes to a choice, I'll opt for the competent.

One of the law firms I worked for hired a hot-shot black lawyer.  He insisted that his secretary also be black. 

But I guess that behavior would be ok with these liberal idiots.  After all, only white people are racist.   *****rollingeyes*****

Reverse racisim is ok.  Wanting an attractive secretary is sexist and not ok.  Riiiiiiiight!

These aren't secretaries; they are interns in a judicial clerkship.

With Liberals everything is crazy. Very highly qualified and accomplished Asians are being turned away from top colleges because of 'diversity' goals. And now I'm sure very highly qualified and experienced women will be turned away from promising positions simply because they are 'too attractive'.

In the world of Liberals to win the game of life is to lose. And conversely to lose is to win. Because Liberals live to make everything topsy-turvy and upside-down.
