On Tuesday, Trump administration officials pulled over $2 billion in federal funding from Harvard University after the university announced that it would not comply with a convoluted, contradictory list of demands from the government.
"The administration's prescription goes beyond the power of the federal government. It violates Harvard's First Amendment rights and exceeds the statutory limits of the government's authority," reads a Monday response letter from Harvard President Alan M. Garber. "No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue."
However, the loss of federal funds doesn't appear to be enough for the Trump administration. According to The New York Times, the IRS is now seeking to revoke the university's tax-exempt status.
