Yale Age Discrimination
Age discrimination laws were enacted for a very specific purpose: to protect certain groups of employees in the work place. They apply in cases of failure to hire or discharge after many years of service when passing certain age points. For a 19-year-old college student to claim age discrimination is absurd, frivolous and deprecating to the useful purpose of these laws.
As the previous posted noted, without knowledge of all the facts, it is difficult to comment further. However, if a 19-year-old student in a graduate-level program was subsequently claimed by the university to be "immature," then the admission committee would appear to have been negligent in its evaluation. She should be refunded the tuition.
Yale Age Discrimination
Age is only one determinant of maturity. We have all seen incredibly immature chronological adults and incredibly mature chronological youngsters.
Without knowing the facts that led Yale to make this decision we should acknowledge that we are all unable to either condemn nor endorse it.
Yale expulsion
I've seen two stories on this incident, and neither has made clear the reasons for the expulsion. "Immaturity" could cover a wide variety of problems and behaviors, and I doubt very much that age alone was the reason for the decision. The graduate art program at Yale is extremely high-powered and high-pressure; the young woman may not have been able to cope well. Yale doesn't normally accept underage students in any of its schools for good reasons. Perhaps the art school's admissions committee simply made a bad call, in which case it MAY owe this woman some compensation, depending on the grounds for the expulsion.
Yale, age discrimination
Yale's conduct is uforgivable. Particarly, after taking all that tuition money. I hope she gets enough money to open her own art museum. Dershowitz, are you listening?
