Trump to Revoke Harvard's Tax-Exempt Status
President Donald Trump has declared his intention to strip Harvard University of its tax-exempt status, stating 'That is what they deserve!' on Truth Social, a platform he recently joined. Trump's administration is intervening in university policies and threatening to cut subsidies.
Harvard's Legal Battle and Opposition
Harvard recently filed a lawsuit against the government after approximately $2.3 billion in funding was suspended. The university was the first to openly oppose Trump's policies, denouncing it as an attack on freedom of speech and academic liberty.
The government's demands include halting diversity programs at Harvard and screening international students for any 'hostility towards American values.'
