Mitchell Langbert’s article on an important and underreported issue, potential violations of section 501 c 3 in colleges, appears in Frontpagemag today. Here is its gist:
…no institution ought to enjoy complete freedom from legal and social norms. Universities have no freedom to harass Jewish students; to propagandize; or to support liberal political candidates. These limitations on are not just ethical. They are enshrined in tax code section 501 (c) (3) and related regulations that grant universities tax exemptions worth tens of billions of dollars and allow donors to deduct their donations.
The possibility that established universities might incur tax liabilities, to include partial penalties, when they propagandize or engage in anti-Semitism is virgin territory for the Internal Revenue Service. Governmental agencies, including the IRS, have deferred to universities’ claims of collectivist academic freedom. But things have gotten out of hand. It is time for the IRS to take a closer look at universities’ violations of the tax code’s legal requirements upon which their tax exemptions are based.
A new “war front” opens.
