GOP presidential hopefuls call for repeal of federal funding, tax breaks for colleges that excuse antisemitism
Fox News
Several GOP presidential hopefuls are calling for the removal of federal funds from colleges that refuse to take action and stop anti-Israel protests from taking place on their campuses.
The issues have boiled over in recent weeks, leading to outside pressure from donors and top law firms to do more to protect Jewish students. Some politicians – now including multiple GOP presidential hopefuls – have questioned whether universities that don't do enough to restrain antisemitic actions on campuses should have their tax-exempt statuses revoked or face other financial penalties.
