President Donald Trump announced his administration will revoke Harvard University’s tax-exempt status, citing the institution’s failure to prioritize public interests. This follows months of attacks against elite universities and aligns with Trump’s broader strategy to exert influence on institutions that he believes promote antisemitism and discrimination on campus. His actions include targeting Harvard’s ability to sponsor student visas through the Department of Homeland Security while leveraging financial pressure from the IRS for an investigation into the university’s nonprofit status. The decision has drawn criticism, with Harvard officials arguing there is no legal basis to revoke their tax-exempt status and warning of potential consequences for the future of higher education in America. Democrats are fighting back, urging an independent investigation into whether political pressure from the White House influenced the IRS’s actions against Harvard. They fear this action could open a Pandora’s box for other non-profit organizations facing similar pressures from Trump’s administration.
