    US to Strip Tax-Exempt Status From Colleges Over DEI Policies

    The Trump administration is advancing a significant policy shift by proposing a new Treasury Department regulation that would revoke the tax-exempt status of private colleges and schools practicing race-based diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies. Announced on September 4th, 2026, the rule targets approximately 18,000 institutions, including high-profile universities like Harvard. Proponents, led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, argue that race-based preferences in admissions and scholarships are discriminatory, while education leaders warn the move could drastically reduce financial aid and access for minority students. The regulation is expected to become final after May 2027, potentially reshaping the financial landscape of American higher education.
