Former President Donald Trump said he’d end tax exemptions for universities deemed to be left-leaning if voters return him to the White House, pointing to the uproar over campus antisemitism that engulfed three college presidents in recent weeks.
Trump told a campaign rally in Durham, New Hampshire, he’d remove tax advantages for universities that discriminate against conservatives, Christians, Jews and for schools that “attack free speech.”
