Numbers Don't Lie: Trump's Free Speech Executive Order Could Cost Colleges Billions

In light of President Trump’s executive order directing government agencies to restrict and remove federal research funding from universities that infringe on students’ rights to free speech, Campus Reform compiled existing government data to determine exactly how much federal research money is doled out each year.

The National Science Foundation, a government agency, produces annual spending reports regarding government-funded research in higher education. Campus Reform analyzed the numerous sets of data from 2017 and created a single report with the most relevant statistics to create a reader-friendly, comprehensive document.

Readers can identify what an individual state spends on “Research & Development” (R&D) and what percentage of that number is comprised of federal, state, and institution dollars, among other categories.

Complying with the Free Speech order will cost nearly nothing except to embarrass all of those Liberal educators and administrators who can't seem to properly think about what freedom is on their own.

Watching Trump take a baseball bat to the windows of SJW safe spaces is entertaining.
