WASHINGTON (Reuters)
The White House said on Tuesday (April 15) that President Donald Trump wants to see Harvard apologise, when asked if the president is considering the possibility of removing the school’s tax-exempt status.
“When it comes to Harvard, as I said, the president has been quite clear, they must follow federal law,” press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters. “He also wants to see Harvard apologise, and Harvard should apologise for the egregious anti-Semitism that took place on their college campus against Jewish-American students,” she added.
Harvard on Monday rejected numerous demands from the Trump administration it said would cede control of the school to a conservative government that portrays universities as dangerously leftist.
