As usual, they found an academic with a twisted "solution": "help less attractive students feel more included and confident." In other words, treat less attractive people like it's their fault, or like there is something wrong with them that makes teachers and employers prefer others.

What? The problem is that employers over-pay for these risk taking, sex-addicted beauties. So perhaps a better course of action would be to make sure that grades and hiring is done with less bias toward looks.
