The Trump administration has asked the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to revoke Harvard University\u2019s<\/a> tax-exempt status, sources within the Department of Justice (DOJ) confirmed to Fox News.<\/p>\n

The Ivy League school’s failure to address antisemitism on campus is grounds for losing its 501(c)(3) status, Fox News’ sources said.<\/p>\n

The IRS is expected to make a final decision soon on Harvard’s tax exemption, according to CNN, which was first to report the story.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0In a recent social media post,<\/a> President Donald Trump claimed that Harvard had “lost its way” and didn’t deserve federal funding.<\/p>\n

“Harvard has been hiring almost all woke, Radical Left, idiots and \u2018birdbrains\u2019 who are only capable of teaching FAILURE to students and so-called \u2018future leaders,'” Trump wrote. “Look just to the recent past at their plagiarizing President, who so greatly embarrassed Harvard before the United States Congress.”<\/p>\n

“Many others, like these Leftist dopes, are teaching at Harvard, and because of that, Harvard can no longer be considered even a decent place of learning, and should not be considered on any list of the World\u2019s Great Universities or Colleges,” he continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Harvard is a JOKE, teaches Hate and Stupidity, and should no longer receive Federal Funds.”<\/p>\n

The developments come less than three weeks after the Justice Department announced a “comprehensive review” of federal contracts and government-funded grants at Harvard University.<\/p>\n

Citing an ambition to eliminate antisemitism on campuses, and coming on the heels of a similar move against Columbia University, the Department of Education said that over $255.6 million in contracts between Harvard, its affiliates and the federal government would be reviewed, plus nearly $9 billion worth of grants.<\/p>\n

“Harvard has served as a symbol of the American Dream for generations \u2014 the pinnacle aspiration for students all over the world to work hard and earn admission to the storied institution,” Secretary of Education Linda McMahon<\/a> said at the time.<\/strong> “Harvard\u2019s failure to protect students on campus from anti-Semitic [sic] discrimination \u2014 all while promoting divisive ideologies over free inquiry \u2014 has put its reputation in serious jeopardy.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
