Harvard University, the oldest and richest university in the U.S., is under pressure from the federal government over accusations of discrimination based on antisemitism. President Trump threatened Harvard with a loss of its tax-exempt status after the school rejected demands from his administration. The U.S. administration claims that Harvard is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. Losing federal funding could financially strain the university, as it currently pays no property taxes and is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3).
Harvard is facing unprecedented scrutiny from the federal government, particularly regarding its tax-exempt status and federal funding in light of alleged violations related to discrimination.
The Trump administration threatened Harvard with losing its tax-exempt status, potentially impacting the university financially with a burden of nearly $500 million if funding is revoked.
Violations of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, or national origin, were cited in an investigation regarding antisemitism on campus.
Currently, Harvard University pays no property taxes and is one of 1,700 colleges exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
