President Donald Trump has set his sights on Harvard University after it rebuffed his calls for policy changes regarding antisemitism, and he has reportedly directed the IRS to look into removing its tax-exempt status.

President Donald Trump's administration has escalated its ongoing battle with Harvard, threatening to revoke the university's ability to host international students as the president called for withdrawing Harvard’s tax-exempt status.

The Trump administration in the US asked the IRS to take away Harvard University's tax-exempt status. This action follows claims of inadequate response to antisemitism on campus. The government had earlier frozen significant grants and contracts.
