TRENDING: GOP lawmakers try to tax ‘woke’ private universities’ massive endowments

High-profile Republicans are pushing a new strategy to tax universities’ endowments, arguing the institutions don’t deserve their tax-exempt statuses because they use their vast amounts of money to push “woke” biases.

While initial efforts in Congress appear to have stalled for now, watchdogs warn higher education leaders that this strategy has only just begun.

“With ongoing public interest and concerns about the value and cost of a college education, some lawmakers are aiming to garner voter support for their scrutiny of higher education business practices,” stated the National Association of College and University Business Officers in a recent policy memo.
