Congress must hear from students, faculty, alumni, and others who care about higher education as lawmakers consider tax reforms that could undermine colleges and universities. The tax-exempt status of public and private nonprofit institutions is essential to their ability to provide affordable education, advance groundbreaking research, and serve communities. However, some proposed policies—such as eliminating nonprofit status for hospitals and ending tax preferences for tax-exempt bonds—would weaken institutions, increase costs for students, and limit research innovation.
