Professor @ UVA Law School, writing about discrimination law and theory, bribery and corruption.
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.

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:

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.

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!

Discrimination cases unravel as Trump scraps core civil rights tenet
The administration is dismissing cases and unwinding settlements built on "disparate impact," which holds that even neutral policies can lead to biased outcomes.
