After Harvard University rejected sweeping policy changes proposed by the White House, former President Donald Trump threatened to revoke the university라이브 바카라 tax-exempt status. Trump stated that Harvard "should lose its tax-exempt status and be taxed as a political entity" if it refuses to implement the changes, which include reforms to student admissions and faculty governance.
"Tax-exempt status is totally contingent on acting in the public interest," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
In a related development, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) reported that visas and immigration statuses for nine international students and researchers were revoked without notice or explanation. The action is seen as part of the Trump administration's broader immigration crackdown and a response to perceived ideological bias in academic institutions.
Issues In Harvard
In a letter to students and faculty, Harvard president Alan Garber vowed to defy the government and said that the school would not "negotiate over its independence or its constitutional rights."
Last Friday, the Trump Administration sent a letter to Harvard University--an institution 140 years older than the United States-- asking it to end its diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in hiring, admissions, and programs.
The letter also called on the university to reduce the power of students and faculty members over the university's affairs and demanded systematic screening of student organizations and international students -- a move supposedly aimed at curtailing antisemitism on campus.
Students Visa Cancelation
Till now, the US government has cancelled the visas of nearly 530 students, faculty and researchers across 88 colleges and universities, as per a report by CBS.
