It wasn't without some pride that I saw last week that my alma mater, the University of Texas at Dallas, had earned what may be its first superlative.

But a statement sent to...
As the dramatic tension of the Erykah Badu-Wayne Coyne Twitter "feud" escalated last week, I started thinking about the question of collaboration and consent. I spoke with Coyne on Wednesday, May 30 — the day he allegedly tweeted nude photos from the set of the video for "The First Time...
