All the world’s a … performance-art show?
I applaud you - first genuinely humorous response to this controversy I've read.
Bravo, young Jedi, on exposing the Dark Side of the Shvartz. Oops, gotta go. My Wookie is making art on the carpet...
haha someone (#1) didn't get into their first-choice college. Hey Columbian, is learning to recognize satire not part of the Core Curriculum?
thanks for making me laugh
Yeah. There's no "brilliant ambiguity" here.
My disappointment is that Tale claims "that Shvarts would “deliberately lie to the press in the name of art.”
Undergraduates in danger of failing their senior project have lots of reasons to lie. Please leave art out of the conversation.
Michael Zink's satire is very often trite or overdone, but this column is a breath of fresh air in the midst of this controversy.
Wookiee.
Two e's.
Seriously.
Actually, I don't care about any of the 'ambiguity'.
I am disappointed at the REALITY of academic standards at a peer institution falling to base levels. What does it say about Yale University that this whole project - performance art or not - is actually being considered for academic credit. There is no proof that Shvarts gave more than 10-15 minutes worth of effort to her project. This surely cannot be something which qualifies someone for satisfactory completion of a senior thesis.
If Yale does grant Miss Shvarts the rights and privileges pertaining to a degree from Yale College, all graduates from four-year liberal arts colleges are all debased.
There is no ambiguity there.
