A new paper of mine, "The Etiquette of Equality," is out in Philosophy & Public Affairs. It tackles a hard set of issues about how we convey respect amid social inequality. I hope others will find it thought-provoking, maybe even clarifying or useful. doi.org/10.1111/papa.12230 1/6

~All US universities share the same governance structure: an external board & its chosen managers wield essentially absolute power. In a new draft, “In Search of University Democracy” (forthcoming in @PennLRev), David Pozen & I ask why US higher ed has adopted this model ... 1/

I really appreciated this invitation and the helpful feedback from colleagues @USCGouldLaw. The much-workshopped paper, currently titled “Making Sense of Neutrality,” is forthcoming in @HarvLRev next year.

The #USCGould Faculty Workshop Series recently featured @Harvard_Law Professor Benjamin Eidelson, who presented his latest research addressing neutrality. #GouldDiscourse

The Trump administration's new Title VI complaint against Harvard is pervasively disingenuous in its factual allegations and exceedingly weak on the law. Fortunately the district court & court of appeals will be guided by the MIT precedent, which makes this pretty open & shut.

Seeing clips of my @USCCRgov testimony on antisemitism/anti-Zionism travel far and wide, I want to underscore a few things:
- I'm Jewish, but I disagree that this fact should give special weight to my analysis; it should be assessed like any other legal analysis. (1/5)

I would've thought this message from the EEOC Chair was blatantly unconstitutional under Trump DOJ guidance. What would they say if a university solicited applications like this? Anyway, a nice exhibit for any university challenged over targeted recruitment or the like!

Here's a quick video of the new Table of Contents feature in Case Viewer — now available for Mac, iPad, and iPhone (caseviewer.app).
It extracts the opinion's actual heading structure, uses an LLM to make descriptive section labels, and maps the argument structure too.
