Trump Administration Asks Irs To Revoke Harvard’s Tax-exempt Status
The directive to the IRS is a significant escalation of President Trump’s feud
with Harvard University and other Ivy League institutions and other nonprofit groups his administration views as “woke.”
By Jacob Bogage and Jeff Stein
The Trump administration has asked the Internal Revenue Service’s top attorney
to revoke Harvard University’s tax-exempt status, according to three people familiar with the situation, amid President Donald Trump’s row with the institution over its handling of antisemitism and diversity practices.
The directive is a significant escalation of the president’s feud with Ivy League institutions and other nonprofit groups his administration views as “woke,” according to the people, who requested anonymity because they were not
authorized to speak about the topic.
Tax-exempt status is available to charitable, religious and educational organizations, as well as social welfare groups. But the organizations must strictly adhere to tax laws that prohibit them from engaging in certain political activity. There is no proof that Harvard has violated any of those guardrails, experts say.

Harvard has done nothing that warrants revoking their tax exempt status. This is
political punishment, nothing more.
