Trump Administration Proposes Removing Tax Exemption for Private Colleges with DEI Policies

The Trump administration is proposing a new rule that would revoke the tax-exempt status of private schools and colleges that offer targeted assistance to students based on race. This move, reported today, is a significant escalation in the White House's efforts to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs directed at minority students, with the proposed change set to take effect after May 2027.
