He has the Supreme Court on his side.

I don't know. The majority of them are Harvard grads with legacy children. They would not want to see their alma mater decline.

Renamed to Campus and Community Life, but it is a sign that Harvard is willing to grant concessions:

Can Harvard's potential loss of tax exempt status be retroactive ?

Fair enough. Replace Hillsdale College with Liberty University, or the Federalist Society, or whatever. The point still stands, despite your pedantics. Obviously.


Apples and Oranges my dim little tool. Hillsdale is a LAC and doesn't need research contracts. Just like the NESCAC except for Tufts can just happily cruise along. Federal money is about 2-3% of the budget at top SLACs, they don't need it and while they would miss it it has no bearing on their operations. The OP ed by the Hillsdale president fails in the fact of objective comparison.


Lol. Your arguments careen from side to side like your great leader Kamala. First you claim that the IRS will cripple colleges liberals favor while leaving Hillsdale College untouched. But when it is pointed out that Hillsdale forsakes federal funds you go into a LAC v Research insti rabbit hole. Now that USAID funding has stopped, the Harvard defense team is clearly scraping the bottom of the barrel.

That is incorrect. Read the precedent below. Hopefully the lawyers that Harvard is producing know their case law, unlike DCUM.

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.


And presumably the Bob Jones actually followed IRS policy and protocol…not a retaliatory “edict” by POTUS.

The rich Muslims must be sending their $$$ to the terrorists and Islamists. If they would contribute more money to our country and its institutions, perhaps they would have more clout.

Nah terrorist funding doesn't come from wealthy Muslims. Glad you admit wealthy jews buy our politicians. Admitting the issue is the first step in addressing it.

He's not in the pocket of rich people in the Middle East? Wut?

They are literally putting billions of dollars in the Trump family's pockets buying up their cryptocurrency. And let's not forget the billions of dollars the Saudis gave Jared just before he walked away from the WH.

And the Saudis buying $2billion worth of Trump family cryptocurrency - can you say corrupt AF?
