Trump is making the order in response to concerns from conservatives that college campuses have become too liberal.
President Donald Trump hugs the American flag as he arrives to speak at Conservative Political Action Conference this month. There, Trump promised an executive order on free speech at colleges.WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump plans to sign an executive order today aimed at ensuring colleges uphold free speech by threatening to withhold billions in research funding. But it’s not entirely clear how the order will work.
Public universities would be expected to uphold the First Amendment, the senior administration official said, and private universities would be expected to uphold their policies on free inquiry on campus. "It will be applied consistently with how agencies already condition federal grants. I won’t get into implementation details," the official said."But schools are already supposed to be following these rules. Essentially, each agency already conditions grants, and schools are certified after following these conditions, and it will just add free speech as one of those conditions.
