Original Note:
Harvard University is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt-organization. Therefore, Harvard cannot donate to any political campaigns. However, individual faculty can donate to whatever they want. Citing individual faculty choices as a reason to defund Harvard is entirely misleading. https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/charitable-organizations/restriction-of-political-campaign-intervention-by-section-501c3-tax-exempt-organizations#:~:text=Under%20the%20Internal%20Revenue%20Code,candidate%20for%20elective%20public%20office.
