Yale Law dean: Reports that professor groomed female clerks for Kavanaugh 'of enormous concern'
NBC News ^ | September 20, 2018 | Adam Edelman and Kasie Hunt

Posted on 09/20/2018 5:38:21 PM PDT by C19fan

The dean of Yale Law School on Thursday responded to reports that a prominent professor at the school had advised students seeking judicial clerkships with Brett Kavanaugh on their physical looks, saying the reported allegations of faculty misconduct are "of enormous concern" and calling on anyone affected to come forward. According to reports in The Guardian, the Huffington Post and Above the Law, Amy Chua, a professor at the law school, would advise students on their physical appearance if they wanted to seek a clerkship for Kavanaugh. Specifically, Chua would help potential applicants to have a "model-like" appearance.

It’s intentional. I’ve come to the conclusion that these repuki POS want to lose. Anything to get rid of Trump and protect the swamp. That’s how FUBARed we are...

THIS 100 percent.

There is no other reason to delay this vote because of some vague repressed memory with no evidence.

It’s all bullshit.

Specifically, Chua would help potential applicants to have a "model-like" appearance...and just when you think the left can't sink lower, they never disappoint - but here a visit to J.D.Vance's blockbuster Hillbilly Elegy of a few years back is instructive - Vance details his growing up in Appalachian America and his trip into adulthood via a tour with the Marines, an undergraduate degree from Ohio State and his admission and progress at Yale Law School - he talks about how out of place and lost he felt at first at Yale and how he gradually found his way and successfully graduated as a first class lawyer - one of the biggest helps he found at Yale was one of his professors, a certain Amy Chua -

It was around this time that Amy Chua, one of my professors, stepped in and told me exactly how things worked...Whether I made it isn't the point. What mattered was that, with a professor's help, I had closed the information gap. I was like I'd learned to see...This wasn't the last time Amy helped me navigate unfamiliar terrain...

Evidently Chua was/is a caring teacher who goes beyond merely preparing her students to be lawyers in the classroom, but mentors them as they may need toward becoming adults and professionals - adults and professionals - something the MSM probably will never understand.....

Groomed?

I was also groomed in Officer Candidate School. I had to groom my hair and my facial hair. Also, my Company Lieutenant liked me to wear the uniform a certain way. I really got chewed out when I wore my cover (officer's hat) tipped back like Col. Hogan.

Yes, so this grooming is real and it is very offensive /s/

“In an emailed statement to NBC News, Chua said: “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.”

Amy Chua obviously doesn’t know the difference between “professional” and “model-like”.

Just verifies that 95% of lawyers give the other 5% a bad name.

Sounds like he told them to look nice. That’s all it takes to insinuate that a man is a Bill Clinton.

To use the hot-button word “grooming” in the headline is a terrible abuse of language. The old meaning of the word only concerned arranging one’s cleanliness and clothing neatly, such as for an interview with an accomplished officer of the court; the new, salacious meaning of “grooming” is to gradually seduce a child for purposes of molestation. The headline is deliberately trying to conflate the two meanings to make a simple preference for a neat appearance sound maximally sinister.
