Abstract
Framed as a reflective response to a proposed analog between scholarship and creative endeavor, this article questions whether creative work can be evaluated fairly through models derived from scholarly review. It situates the problem within the history of higher education, where artists have often been included in universities while remaining subject to standards built around traditional scholarship. The discussion acknowledges the value of efforts to validate creative work, but raises concerns about equivalence, especially when artistic practice is forced onto scholarly terrain. Particular attention is given to directing, which may function as teaching, service, research, or creative work depending on context. The article also examines limits of impartial peer review, noting differences between manuscript review and live performance evaluation in faculty advancement decisions.
