Trump targets private school tax-exempt status over race-based aid. California campuses on notice

The Treasury Department proposed a new regulation targeting the tax-exempt status of private colleges and schools that maintain race-based aid or DEI policies. This rule aims to eliminate programs providing student assistance based on race and could take effect after May 2027. While California campuses are on notice, Mike Gavin of the Alliance for Higher Education criticized the administration's approach, suggesting the move is an attempt to gaslight the American public regarding these educational policies.
