Too `sexy’ for Ivy League: Librarian sues Harvard for race, gender bias

Steven M. Cohen spotted News From Boston that A black Harvard librarian who claims her boss said she was too “sexy” to get promoted has hit the university with a race and gender discrimination suit.

Desiree Goodwin, a Cornell grad with two master’s degrees, says she’s been repeatedly passed over for “less qualified, less experienced” white men and women during her nine years at Harvard.

“She’s a very accomplished, fine lady,” said her attorney Richard D. Clarey yesterday. “The jury’s going to love her.”
