Trump says government will revoke Harvard맥스카지노s tax-exempt status
President Donald Trump says Harvard University will be stripped of its tax-exempt status, redoubling an extraordinary threat amid a broader chess match over free speech, political ideology and federal funding at the Ivy League school and across American academia.
맥스카지노We are going to be taking away Harvard맥스카지노s Tax Exempt Status. It맥스카지노s what they deserve!맥스카지노 Trump Friday morning on Truth Social.
Trump floated a trial balloon for the notion of removing Harvard맥스카지노s tax-exempt status, and the Internal Revenue Service had been making plans to carry out the idea. CNN reached out Friday to the IRS and Harvard for comment.
Harvard맥스카지노s president has the school 맥스카지노will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights. Neither Harvard nor any other private university can allow itself to be taken over by the federal government.맥스카지노
Harvard has emerged as the Trump administration맥스카지노s most high-profile foe after the White House맥스카지노s Joint Task Force to Combat Antisemitism last month announced a freeze of more than $2 billion in its federal research funding. The university sued for release of the money, with a resolution unlikely until midsummer at the soonest.
The Trump administration also has threatened to revoke the university맥스카지노s ability to host international students if it doesn맥스카지노t submit to a long list of demands, including: eliminating its diversity, equity and inclusion programs, banning masks at campus protests, enacting merit-based hiring and admissions changes, turning over foreign students맥스카지노 discipline records, and reducing the power held by faculty and administrators who are 맥스카지노more committed to activism than scholarship.맥스카지노
While the White House has said its aim is a crackdown on antisemitism following protests across U.S. campuses over the war in Gaza, scholars and prominent have expressed concern with its far-reaching attacks on Harvard.
Harvard in recent days has taken some symbolic steps toward the Trump administration맥스카지노s ultimatums, renaming its Office for Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging as Community and Campus Life and cutting off resources for affinity group celebrations during commencement.
The university also with the Department of Homeland Security in response to its request for information on the illegal activity and disciplinary records of international students, though it did not detail what it gave.
And Harvard this week released two lengthy internal reports, one on how antisemitism and anti-Israel bias is handled on campus and another on anti-Muslim, anti-Arab and anti-Palestinian bias. While school officials don맥스카지노t entirely disagree with the White House맥스카지노s position that antisemitism is a major problem at the university, that report shows, the sides still strongly disagree over who should decide what reforms are required and whether federal or school officials should oversee them.
Harvard맥스카지노s steps so far to curb antisemitism are 맥스카지노positive,맥스카지노 a White House official told CNN this week, but 맥스카지노what we맥스카지노re seeing is not enough, and there맥스카지노s actually probably going to be additional funding being cut.맥스카지노
