The point in describing the work conducted at a now-elite university (Boston College) and in the quoted commentary in this article is that a stronger case can be made that America's most elite institutions (like Yale and Harvard) could and should be doing more--not less--in supporting affirmative action. The author proudly congratulates his alma…

The current range and volume of research evaluation-related literature is extensive and incorporates scholarly and policy/practice-related perspectives. This reflects academic and practical interest over many decades and trails the changing funding and reputational modalities for universities, namely increased selectivity applied to institutional…

We gain much of our knowledge from other people. Because people are fallible--they lie, mislead, and are mistaken--it seems essential to monitor their claims and their reliability as sources of information. An intuitive way to do this is to draw on our expectations about claims and sources: to perform expectation-based updating (Hahn, Merdes,…

This article first examines the implications of the…

This article examines the development of a university's advertising campaign through the discursive justifications of the university's communications office, its deans, and the advertising agency involved in the process. Empirical material is gathered from a three-year-long ethnographic research. Drawing on the notion of floating signifier, we…

For some time now, chemistry has not had a good reputation in society. The population identifies this discipline with industries and pollution, while its positive contributions are usually ignored. This fear of chemistry may affect the opinion of society toward not only science, but also the scientific work itself. To assess the prevalence of this…

Global university rankings influence students' choices and higher education policies throughout the world. When rankers not only evaluate universities but also provide them with consulting, analytics, or advertising services rankers are vulnerable to conflicts of interest that may potentially distort their rankings. The paper assesses the impact…
