Just posted to SSRN "Disparate Treatment and Discriminatory Harm" forthcoming Legal Theory, with Lily Hu (Yale, Philosophy): It explores how one evaluates when a facially neutral law, which is adopted with an impermissible intent, produces a discriminatory effect. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

If you an alum of one of the schools that the Trump administration just made an "offer" for preferential treatment to, please sign this petition to indicate that as an alum you do not believe your school should trade its independence for special treatment. alumni.controlshift.app/petitions/tr...

I wrote an entry for the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy on Algorithmic Fairness. It is here: plato.stanford.edu/entries/algo... I found this a challenging but facinating project. Comments welcome.

Thank you Larry for writing such a lovely tribute. Dick was also a mentor, teacher and dear friend to me and I will miss him greatly. A great mind, a deep scholar, a charitable critic and a supportive and encouraging colleague.

To me, Dick Fallon was an important mentor, a trusted critic and a dear friend. I will miss him tremendously.

Terrific op-ed by @beidelson.bsky.social in @bostonglobe.com on the recent Trump ruling on antisemitism, which draws on our recent essay "Antisemitism, Anti-Zionism and Title VI" in the Harvard Law Review Forum: harvardlawreview.org/forum/vol-13....

My essay with @beidelson.bsky.social in Harvard Law Review Forum went live on June 20 but today seems like an apt time to post it given reports that "Trump Administration Finds Harvard Violated Civil Rights Law" in NYT. Our take-away: campus anti-Zionist activity is unlikely to violate Title VI.

"Antisemitism, Anti-Zionism, and Title VI: A Guide for the Perplexed" is now out: tinyurl.com/3wpvbnzu Thanks to HLR editors for fast & diligent editing and to the many who've engaged with us since we posted the draft. And of course to @hellmandeborah.bsky.social for another great collaboration.

Trump's renunciation of disparate impact is ironic: As @hellmandeborah.bsky.social and I explain in new paper, the disparate impact regulation is likely essential to any plausible Title VI theory re: campus antisemitism. Reporters should ask if they're making an exception! ssrn.com/abstract=527...

@chronicle.com posted a Q&A @shenandoahkate.bsky.social where @beidelson.bsky.social and I discuss our recent article. Full paper: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.....

Really thoughtful and lovely discussion of the judicial philosophy of the late Justice Souter by my colleague @cbarzun.bsky.social www.scotusblog.com/2025/05/the-...

Important explainer on 70302 of "Big Beautiful Bill." Text: "No court of the United States may enforce a contempt citation for failure to comply with an injunction or temporary restraining order if no security was given when the injunction or order was issued..." www.instagram.com/katiecouric/...

I agree! Well said.

Thanks Lee!

Thanks Joey.

Great summary in thread.

Yes, thanks to all those listed below and also to @richschragger.bsky.social, Kim Forde-Mazrui, and David Plunkett. And especially to @beidelson.bsky.social - always learn so much from our discussions.

New to Bluesky, and posting a new paper: "Antisemitism, Anti-Zionism, and Title VI: A Guide for the Perplexed" -- with @beidelson.bsky.social. Forthcoming in Harv. L. Rev. Forum in June. (papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....). A thread follows.

I've just joined BlueSky and need help from friends to gather followers. So @uvalaw.bsky.social, and other faculty and students, please share/follow. I write about discrimination law and its philosophical foundations and about bribery and corruption. Am interested in all things law and philosophy.
