- The IRS is considering revoking Harvard's tax exemption, marking a significant escalation in the Trump administration's efforts to cut federal aid to the university.
- President Trump publicly demanded that Harvard pay taxes, while IRS officials indicated that scrutiny of the university had begun prior to his call.
- Harvard rejected the claims and warned that revoking its tax status would harm its educational mission and reduce financial aid and research funding.
- The pressure on Harvard is part of a broader campaign by the Trump administration to challenge the liberal bias at elite universities, threatening billions in federal funding.
"Such an unprecedented action would endanger our ability to carry out our educational mission."— Harvard stated that there is no legal basis for rescinding its tax status.
