Trump admin asks IRS to revoke tax-exempt status from Harvard University

The Trump administration has recently requested the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to revoke Harvard University’s tax-exempt status, citing the school’s alleged failure to address antisemitism on its campus. According to sources within the Department of Justice (DOJ) who spoke to Fox News, this move could potentially jeopardize Harvard’s 501(c)(3) status.

CNN was the first to report on this development, stating that the IRS is expected to make a final decision on Harvard’s tax exemption in the near future. President Donald Trump took to social media to express his disapproval of Harvard, claiming that the prestigious Ivy League institution had “lost its way” and no longer deserved federal funding.

In a scathing post, Trump criticized Harvard for what he perceived as a lack of intellectual diversity among its faculty members. He accused the university of hiring predominantly “woke, Radical Left, idiots and ‘birdbrains'” who he believes are incapable of providing a well-rounded education to students. Trump specifically called out Harvard’s current president for alleged plagiarism, further tarnishing the school’s reputation in his eyes.

The president’s public condemnation of Harvard’s alleged shortcomings has sparked a heated debate about the university’s standing in the academic community. Some have echoed Trump’s sentiments, questioning Harvard’s commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive learning environment. Others have defended the institution, citing its long history of academic excellence and groundbreaking research.

While the outcome of the IRS’s decision remains uncertain, the controversy surrounding Harvard’s tax-exempt status is likely to have far-reaching implications for the university and the broader higher education landscape. As this story continues to unfold, it will be essential to monitor any updates and developments that may impact Harvard’s future. Stay tuned for more information as this story evolves.
