(Bloomberg) -- Harvard University pushed back against the US government after President Donald Trump said the school should lose its tax-exempt status, warning that such a move would endanger its ability to carry out its mission and threaten higher education in America.

“There is no legal basis to rescind Harvard’s tax-exempt status,” university spokesman Jason Newton said in a statement, adding that such a move would damage Harvard’s medical research efforts and ability to offer financial aid for students.
