Trump plans to hit private colleges with taxes over DEI policies
The administration is looking to drain the bank accounts of universities that dare to offer race-based support.
It looks like the Trump administration is ready to play hardball with academia. The plan is simple: if a private college wants to keep its tax-exempt status, it has to ditch any programs that offer targeted help to students based on their race.
Think of it as a massive financial shakedown. These institutions have enjoyed non-profit status for decades, but now the rules of the game are shifting. Any school keeping DEI initiatives on the books might soon find their endowment hit by the taxman.
The government is essentially betting that colleges care more about their balance sheets than their diversity mission statements. It is a bold move to use the tax code as a blunt instrument for ideological warfare.
