The university has unconfirmed powers about how it spends funds that appear to grow each year through larger donations. This is especially true of top-ranked American universities that continue to promote diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and enable anti-Semitism to carry out Amac.
The Trump administration and Congress must work together to curb this unlimited power that universities have taken away. First of all, the fund can be heavily taxed to ensure that universities pay an equitable distribution.
A university holding some The biggest donation Harvard University costs $52 billion, Yale costs $41 billion, Princeton costs $34 billion, and Columbia costs $15 billion. Each of these universities is wasting funds on creating DEI offices, where each office has its own staff. Columbia Created That dei office just like last year.
Despite claims to support fairness, the listed universities have allowed anti-Semitic protests since terrorist group Hamas invaded Israel and killed more than 1,000 people, including American citizens. Princeton Colombia has allowed anti-Israeli protesters to form campuses. Harvard Law School students are overwhelmingly vote On March 13th, the university was resolved to sell it from Israel.
Colleges that continue to function as bad actors and cause these annoying events can potentially be collected with greater taxes. President Donald Trump first signed the law to the Basic Tax Tax cuts and employment ACIn his first management. This law It was introduced A 1.4% tax on private universities’ contributions “have at least 500 students with donations of more than $500,000 per student.” According to the Tax Policy Center.
It is owned by members of the council It was introduced This year, the law raises the tax rate for university donations to 21%. Republicans are currently working on a new settlement budget bill. They can use this opportunity to increase donation taxes and encourage good behavior, such as eliminating DEIs and limiting anti-Semitist activities.
Even after accepting billions of funds each year, private universities are also receiving federal funding. Harvard, 2024 I received it $686 million, Yale I received it Princeton, Princeton I received it $456 million, Colombia I received it Taxpayer $1.3 billion.
The question arises: if these universities receive so much for donations, why do they need federal funds in the first place? This is especially true when prioritizing political agendas over providing appropriate education to students. The Trump administration should simply end federal funding for universities that continue to promote dangerous ideologies. It seems that it’s happening now.

Since taking office, Trump has signature They threatened to strip schools of federal funding if they continue to promote it. He is chasing the threat.
The Trump administration recently cut $400 million in federal funds from Columbia University. Free Press It has been reported This is the result of the university’s failure to take steps to combat anti-Semitism on campus after the attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
Before considering providing $400 million to Colombia, universities should create a definition of anti-Semitism, prohibiting protesters from wearing masks, and placing research departments in the Middle East, South Asia and Africa under what they call “academic acceptance.”
A big alternative is to cut federal funds from universities that have a full-scale donation, but using them as leverage to force better behaviour is not a bad idea.
As the Trump administration has shown at Columbia University, federal funds can be withheld from institutions where awful ideology allows for Fester. Funds can also be taxed at a larger rate, with incentives that could award good behaviour. These are simple and simple solutions to ensure that universities do not have unidentified powers.
