University President House Trivia

I'm branching out on trivia questions here.  This time I have a picture of the home of a president of a major University.  The president who lived here was the named defendant in a hugely important civil rights case.  His university lost this one.  Who lived here and what was the case?  Good luck on this one.  This is really tough.  The person who showed this to me told me about it as we were driving by and I said, hold on, I need a picture of this for the blog.  If I didn't have a local showing me around, I'd never have known this.  In fact, even knowing who lived here, I'm having trouble verifying this on the net.  As I say, good luck.

Major University (think huuge), losing court case - my guess is Trump University and this is Mr. Trump's humble abode.
