The coalition believes this rescission package is a crucial opportunity to eliminate taxpayer support for what they describe as leftist propaganda outlets.

Experts suggest that the Bob Jones precedent strengthens the government's case, as it emphasizes that institutions engaging in discrimination should not receive public funds. The IRS is expected to make a decision soon regarding Harvard's tax status amid these claims.
