Trump administration pushes to remove tax exemption for private colleges with DEI policies

The Trump administration is proposing a new rule to remove the tax-exempt status of private schools and colleges that implement DEI policies. According to the Treasury Department and IRS, this measure targets institutions providing specific assistance to students based on race, particularly Black and Hispanic minority groups. This proposal represents a significant escalation in the White House campaign to eradicate diversity programs across educational institutions by leveraging federal tax regulations to discourage race-based student support.
