The Crimson covers legal experts' opinions on the case. If SFFA prevails, Lawrence Tribe (HLS '62; former HLS professor) predicts that “universities as intelligent as Harvard will find ways of dealing with the decision [against them] without radically altering their composition, but they will have to be more subtle than they have been thus far.”
In a separate piece in The Hill, Alan Dershowitz (HLS professor emeritus) has a biting response to Tribe's words: "Imagine if a law professor had suggested that southern schools find 'subtle' ways of 'dealing with' court-ordered desegregation!"
