Harvard University is at odds with the Trump administration over federal demands to address anti-Semitism and dismantle diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. The university's refusal to comply has resulted in $2.25 billion in federal funds being frozen.

Trump has threatened that Harvard should lose its tax-exempt status if it does not change course. The potential loss of this status would have severe financial implications, costing the university millions in taxes and donations.

Legal experts suggest that Harvard would likely contest any effort by the IRS to revoke its tax-exempt status, arguing that such a decision would infringe upon First Amendment protections for academic freedom.
