Genuine question:
Should a government be able to revoke the tax-exempt status of a university because the university will not agree to give the government, first, the right to "audit" the viewpoints of students, professors, and administrators, and second, the right to "reduce the power" of certain students, professors, and administrators, targeted because of those viewpoints?
The right to "audit" and "reduce the power" of students, professors, and administrators are only two of the government's demands. I must confess that it's not entirely clear to me what the government means by "audit" and "reduce the power." Here is the full list of government demands: https://www.harvard.edu/research-funding/wp-content/uploads/sites/16/2025/04/Letter-Sent-to-Harvard-2025-04-11.pdf https://www.harvard.edu/research-funding/wp-content/uploads/...
Here is the university's response: https://www.harvard.edu/president/news/2025/the-promise-of-american-higher-education/ https://www.harvard.edu/president/news/2025/the-promise-of-a...
