The changes result from negotiations that altered the original proposal to exempt schools with fewer than 3,000 students.
The new tax structure will see some wealthy colleges facing a higher tax rate, while others, particularly smaller private institutions, will benefit from tax relief. Critics argue that the tax disproportionately targets schools perceived as "woke," and express concern about the long-term implications for funding student scholarships.
