Trump’s comments come amid a funding fight with the university as his administration has frozen more than $2 billion in federal funds to Harvard over its pushback on his administration’s efforts to target diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives and handling of anti-Israel protests. Last week, Trump called Harvard a “far left institution” and “a threat to Democracy.”
“We are going to be taking away Harvard’s Tax Exempt Status. It’s what they deserve!” Trump posted on his social media platform Friday morning.
The announcement comes after repeated pressure from Trump for Harvard to comply with his executive orders on education or face the consequences. Last month, the Washington Post reported that the Treasury Department had asked the IRS to revoke Harvard’s tax-exempt status. …
