He is just messing with them. Harvard and Columbia have “Bud Lighted” their brands. No point in kicking them while they are down.

Bob Jones University (BJU) had its tax-exempt status revoked by the IRS in the 1970s due to its racially discriminatory admissions policies. This action was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in Bob Jones University v. United States (1983), which established that tax-exempt status can be denied to organizations that violate public policy, including racial discrimination. However, the university later regained its tax-exempt status after dropping the ban on interracial dating in 2000.


Please identify the Harvard policy that, under Bob Jones, justifies revoking Harvard's tax-exempt status.

Please read Harvard's own report on anti-Semitism. It has enough to incriminate itself

Again, please identify the official Harvard policy that comports with the ruling in Bob Jones. Still waiting.

I'm in a biracial marriage with kids. I guess they also did not allow multiracial children up until 2000? Wow. That's pointedly obvious discrimination.

Back to Harvard: but, what public policy is Harvard violating exactly? DEI is just "equal opportunity" badged in a different. How is that against public policy? Is Trump saying that they don't want EO anymore? Is allowing pro Palestinian protests against public policy? That would be against 1A, no?

The IRS, like much of the rest of the government, has been purged of independent thinking officials who feel an obligation to follow the law. It will now do exactly what Trump tells it to do. And Harvard's defense will rely in part on that very fact.

The IRS revokes exemptions, not Trump, and Trump is not supposed to be interfering in their decisions. That would be an issue if they responded to his call directly.

This is in the category of bluster. I wouldn't give it a lot of oxygen, personally. The more talk, the more he flames the fire.

It was undisputed that Bob Jones University had an official policy of forbidding interracial dating. The university argued that that policy was not racially discriminatory, but the Supreme Court had little problem rejecting that argument.

Harvard has no official policy of antisemitism or the like. Quite the opposite. (Newsflash: Trump's attacks on Harvard in fact have nothing to do with antisemitism.) The Bob Jones case does not help Trump. Not at all.

Trump also can't revoke tax exempt status based on an Executive Order. There are laws governing who pays taxes, so any action would be years of litigation.

Also, he's firing all of the agents who enforce the rules. You can either control everybody, or you can have a small government. You can't have both.
