Faculty Appearance and Faculty Quality: Is There a Connection?<br>

It has been suggested that bald, bearded professors are superior in overall quality relative to faculty lacking these attributes (Schwenk, 1987, 1989). However, a few investigators disagree with Schwenk’s findings (e.g., Hirsute, 1990; Brunette, 2003). The computer simulation models of Schwenk & Bud (1990) further predicted that the addition of a slight beer-belly to the physical parameters suggested by Schwenk (1987) would so enhance the popularity of a UConn professor that it is unlikely any space on campus could accommodate his or  her class enrollments (with the possible exception of Gampel Pavilion). However, in a pointed rebuttal to the Schwenk & Bud (1990) study, Slender et al. (1991) noted that Professor Schwenk, himself, fits the Schwenk (1987, 1989) and Schwenk and Bud (1990) profile, and his meager enrollments hardly fulfill the prediction. Furthermore, in her now classic study, La Mujer (1968) showed that female instructors are consistently preferred three to one over males by students at ten top-ranking U. S. institutions. Given that female instructors generally have all their hair, are only rarely bearded and infrequently have beer bellies, these results would seem to falsify the Schwenk (1987, 1989) and Schwenk and Bud (1990) hypotheses. Slender et al. (1991) noted that Schwenk failed to cite the La Mujer (1968) study in any of his papers and they further implied that the quality of Schwenk's scholarship is in question. In a vicious rejoinder to the Slender et al. (1991) paper, Schwenk (1993) claimed that Slender, Gracile and Lithe were involved in a widespread conspiracy to ruin his professional reputation and that the conspiracy extended to La Mujer, Brunette, Hirsute, and a host of other investigators (reviewed in Schwenk, 2005). He further claimed to have unpublished evidence linking these scientists to a, heretofore unrevealed, CIA plot to bring Elvis and Marilyn back to life in order to discredit Schwenk and his ideas. As proof, Schwenk (1993) offered the testimony of voices he hears constantly in his head (K. Schwenk, personal communication).
