President Trump has threatened to strip Harvard University of its tax-exempt status, a move that could financially devastate the institution. This threat comes amid escalating tensions between his administration and Harvard, particularly after the university refused to comply with demands including a review of its policies on diversity and inclusion. Harvard's leadership has asserted its commitment to academic freedom and independence, directly rejecting Trump's demands which they viewed as infringing on constitutional rights. The situation represents Trump's broader efforts to exert control over U.S. universities.
"We are going to be taking away Harvard's Tax Exempt Status. It's what they deserve!" Trump declared on social media, reflecting his ongoing feud with the University.
"Harvard's President Alan Garber rejected the letter, stating that Trump's demands infringed upon Harvard's academic freedom, asserting their commitment to independence and constitutional rights."
