Trump suggests pulling tax exempt status for any school with antisemitism ...Middle East

News by : (The Hill) -

President Trump in a recent interview with Hugh Hewitt, a conservative radio host, indicated that any college with antisemitism problems should have its tax exempt status pulled, a change he has already called for at Harvard University.

“Are you going to push that for every university where the antisemitism gets out of control?” the host asked the president on “The Hugh Hewitt Show.” 

“I think so, yes,” Trump responded.  

He has repeatedly called for Harvard to lose its exempt status, saying “it’s what they deserve.” 

Harvard, which is suing the Trump administration over cuts to its federal funding, has called the tax threat “highly illegal,” and legal experts note the president is not allowed to call for IRS audits or reveal if a particular organization is under audit.  

“We’re going to look for that where we find them. Sometimes it is out of control and sometimes you don’t see it, it’s not so obvious,” Trump said, referring to antisemitism on campuses. 

“With Harvard it was very obvious, you look at it, totally antisemitic,” he added before chastising the Ivy League school for recent data showing only 3 percent of faculty is conservative. 

Trump's administration cut billions in federal funds to Harvard after it refused to give into demands to reform multiple academic and administrative policies, including eliminating diversity, equity and inclusion programs.
