I began to face blatant ageism and age discrimination when I turned 65. Suddenly, the new assistant dean felt the need to get rid of me, and a few years later, I had been pushed out of a wretched adjunct faculty position that barely kept body and soul together.

Then the fun began. No one wanted to hire someone who was almost 69 years old. After all, it might be traumatic to the students if I croaked in the classroom.

Sadly, it is virtually impossible to prove age discrimination in a court of law...
