...global contexts. The internationalism that Warhol has brought about is stunning.”In addition to the variety of topics being discussed, the diversity of the academics’ approaches contributes to the conference’s appeal. “There have been several generations of scholarship on Warhol which will be represented on the panel. You have very eminent scholars and you have mid-career scholars and graduate students, so it will be almost three generations of conversation,” says Helen Molesworth, Curator of Contemporary Art at the Fogg, who will be a respondent...

It was because Baylor wanted to boost its ranking in U.S. News and World Report’s list of “Best Colleges.” Baylor incentivized freshmen with $300 at the campus bookstore to retake their SATs and offered $1,000 a year in scholarship aid to those who raised their scores by at least 50 points. Though seemingly cavalier and unethical, programs like this are products of the bizarre and destruction nature of the rank system employed and popularized by U.S. News and World Report...
