University tax-exempt status under threat after semester of campus antisemitism

House Republicans are eyeing the tax-exempt status of universities as a way to ensure administrators will stop campus antisemitism.

At a House Ways and Means Committee hearing on Thursday titled “Crisis on Campus: Antisemitism, Radical Faculty, and the Failure of University Leadership,” Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) called into question the tax-exempt status of universities that do not properly respond to campus antisemitism and commit possible Title VI civil rights violations.
