Briefly

Harvard University benefits significantly from federal tax exemption, saving hundreds of millions in taxes annually, which has come under scrutiny from President Trump. The administration has urged changes to the university's hiring practices, admissions, and curriculum policies, linking federal funding cuts to non-compliance. The IRS is now assessing whether to revoke the university's tax-exempt status, a privilege enjoyed by many nonprofit organizations that enhances their financial standing and attracts donations.
