Harvard is the <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/newyork\/news\/trump-administration-cancels-400-million-columbia-university\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">latest university to be targeted<\/a><\/span> by the Trump administration, which is using federal funding as leverage to try to change internal governance at universities and how they manage student expression on campus.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Perhaps Harvard should lose its Tax Exempt Status and be Taxed as a Political Entity if it keeps pushing political, ideological, and terrorist inspired\/supporting &#8216;Sickness?'&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/114342374504628520\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Mr. Trump wrote<\/a> on Truth Social Tuesday. &#8220;Remember, Tax Exempt Status is totally contingent on acting in the PUBLIC INTEREST!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nearly all public and private colleges in the United States are exempt from paying taxes because they are educational organizations, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aau.edu\/key-issues\/tax-exempt-status-universities-and-colleges\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">according to<\/a> the Association of American Universities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Harvard rejects Trump&#8217;s demands<\/h2>\n<p>The conflict between some universities and the Trump administration stems from pro-Palestinian encampments that grew at <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/boston\/news\/harvard-yard-encampment-ending-student-discipline\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Harvard Yard<\/a><\/span> and on other college campuses last year. The Trump administration said at the end of March it was reviewing about $9 billion in grants with Harvard as it investigates alleged antisemitic incidents at colleges.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.harvard.edu\/research-funding\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/04\/Letter-Sent-to-Harvard-2025-04-11.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">A letter<\/a>\u00a0the Trump administration sent Harvard on April 11 demanded several changes, including leadership reforms at the school and an end to diversity, equity and inclusion policies. Harvard President Alan Garber <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harvard.edu\/president\/news\/2025\/the-promise-of-american-higher-education\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">responded<\/a> by saying the university &#8220;will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think so many of us want to work at a place and be part of a community that stands up for its principles, right?&#8221; Harvard political science professor Ryan Enos said. &#8220;If you don&#8217;t have that, you don&#8217;t have anything.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Harvard&#8217;s endowment and federal funding<\/h2>\n<p>Earlier this year, Harvard announced a <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/boston\/news\/harvard-university-hiring-freeze-trump\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">hiring freeze<\/a><\/span> in response to &#8220;rapidly shifting federal policies.&#8221; Much of the federal funding Harvard receives goes toward medical and scientific research.<\/p>\n<p>Harvard Medical School, for example, says federal support has &#8220;enabled innovations in cancer immunotherapy, treatments for diabetes and obesity, therapies for autoimmune diseases, the first gene-editing therapy for\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/cdc-cuts-sickle-cell-adult-disability-programs\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">sickle cell disease<\/a><\/span>, and more.&#8221; \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not just that things have been stopped cold, which a lot of it has,&#8221; Enos said. &#8220;One day, they&#8217;re doing research and then the next day they can&#8217;t. It&#8217;s also the fact that they can&#8217;t plan.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But Shabbos Kestenbaum, who received his master&#8217;s degree from Harvard and campaigned for Mr. Trump, says this sort of penalty on the university is long overdue.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What the federal government is doing is saying, &#8216;You have a track record of discrimination, you have a track record of violating the civil rights of your own students, and we&#8217;re not going to fund this,'&#8221; he said. &#8220;Harvard is trying to, you know, have its cake and eat it too.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With Harvard reporting an endowment of more than $53 billion last year, some critics may wonder why the school needs federal funding at all.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is some truth to that, of course. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s important for Harvard to fight,&#8221; Enos said. &#8220;They&#8217;re sort of digging in for battle, and we all have to prepare to go through that now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>
