U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to strip Harvard of its tax-exempt status and demanded an apology after the university rejected his demands to overhaul academic programs. Trump has been rebuking universities over their handling of the pro-Palestinian student protest movement, calling the protests anti-American and antisemitic. Some professors and university presidents argue that the protests are being unfairly conflated with antisemitism as a pretext for an attack on academic freedoms. The Trump administration's Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism froze over $2 billion in contracts and grants to Harvard, the country's oldest and richest university.
