Bob Jones University president decries IRS dispute over race
Greenville based Bob Jones University president Bob Jones III defends the school as a religious institution while clashing with the IRS over tax exemptions. The case traces to 1970 when the IRS warned of penalties for racial discrimination, prompting gradual admissions of Black students and a loss of exemptions in 1971 and 1975, with litigation now before the Supreme Court and potential retroactive taxation. The Reagan administration briefly sought legislation to deny exemptions to discriminating schools, and the Justice Department announced a case against the school on February 24.
