President Trump promised to issue an executive order soon that would require universities to protect free speech on campus. University officials and First Amendment scholars responded to the proposal with questions about the details of the policy, which are not yet known.
President Trump hugged the American flag at the Conservative Political Action Conference annual meeting Saturday. By Susan Svrluga Susan Svrluga Reporter covering higher education for the Grade Point blog Email Bio Follow March 4 at 8:03 PM Conservative activists cheered loudly and applauded when President Trump announced Saturday that he would make federal funding for universities contingent on support for free speech.
A White House official said Monday there were no further announcements at this time, referring questions back to the president’s remarks Saturday. UC-Berkeley was again a target this year. Trump stood on stage at CPAC with a conservative activist who was attacked while “tabling” — sharing information — in Berkeley’s public plaza, which has long been a national symbol of free speech. Video of the punch went viral, reinforcing the stereotype that conservative thought is viewed with hostility on the state flagship campus.
Leaders of several other public research universities and the interest group that represents them said Trump’s proposed action is unwarranted.
