President Trump signs an executive order aimed at improving transparency and promoting free speech on college campuses, part of a largely symbolic gesture to his conservative base
Washington Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday afternoon aimed at improving transparency and promoting free speech on college campuses, part of a largely symbolic gesture to the President's conservative base announced at a conference for conservative activists earlier this month.
The order, a senior administration official told reporters on a call previewing the signing, is part of the President's vision of"making higher education more transparent and holding institutions more accountable."The action comes amid the backdrop of conservative voices highlighting instances of alleged violence directed toward student activists in viral videos on social media, including a recent incident on the University of California-Berkeley campus.
