US President Trump threatened the college and university campuses that if they fail to protect the “free-speech” rights of students, they would lose the federal research funding.
The United States President Donald J. Trump has recently signed an executive order to promote free speech on college campuses.
Trump threatened the college campuses that if the colleges fail to protect the “free-speech” rights of students, they would lose the federal research funding.
The new executive order asks federal agencies to ensure the universities or colleges receiving research grants agree to promote free speech and follow the federal Rules and Regulations.
Primary Aim of the executive order.
The primary aim of the executive order is to prevent actions against conservative students expressing opinions at the colleges and universities across the country.
Motive behind the move.
President Trump was advised to issue the executive order in this regard after a student at the University of California at Berkeley was punched in the face last month for supporting the president and conservative reasons.
