(AMHERST, MASS.) The Trump administration wants to strip all nonprofit colleges, universities and private K-12 schools of their tax-exempt status if any of their programs designed to help students uses race as a criterion for eligibility.
This change is included in a rule the Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service proposed on Sept. 3, 2026. The rule could take effect after May 31, 2027, following a two-month-long comment period – as long as it’s not blocked or delayed by the legal challenges likely to arise.
