UM: Weight Discrimination

By

The Detroit Free Press reports on weight discrimination lawsuits filed against the Hooters restaurant chain, and notes that Michigan is the only state to ban discrimination based on weight. The article quotes J.J. Prescott, a UM law professor, commenting on the fact that few weight discrimination cases have ended up in court: “While plaintiffs have been alleging discrimination on the basis of weight for some time, there is very little case law interpreting that specific provision.” [Source]
