[quote=Anonymous]I have a late-20s coworker with horrible body odor. Probably not cultural, possibly medical, I have no idea why and I'll never say anything. They've been there for several years now; yes, sometimes it's unpleasant to, for ex., share a rental car with them, but it has no effect on their work product (which is great). Given the vast number of possible explanations, it seems cruel and discriminatory and even disrespectful of THEM to write them off because they smell bad. Just as what someone is wearing shouldn't be to blame for certain violent crimes, what someone smells like (or wears, or the "tone" in which they email a question) also has no direct relation to their academic work product. No one is asking professors to *teach* good hygiene and email etiquette. Model it, sure, but beyond that, just give people some grace and focus on what they are actually there to learn.[/quote]
