Former President Donald Trump has threatened to revoke Harvard University's tax-exempt status, accusing the institution of acting as a political entity rather than serving the public interest.
The dispute centers around Harvard's refusal to comply with certain White House demands, including limiting campus activism and dismantling diversity programs. In response, Trump announced a freeze on $2.2 billion in multi-year federal grants to the university. He claims Harvard is promoting 'sickness' by defying these directives.
The move has sparked debate over academic freedom and the politicization of higher education funding.
