Not practical. Would have to create a new federal free speech standard and implementation bureaucracy. It’s silly. Better way to leverage fed research dollars is to require rollback of Univ admin budgets as proposed by @AndrewYangVFA
Isn't it interesting how quickly @insidehighered rejected POTUS' simple demand that public universities should comply with their constitutional duty to respect our First Amendment free speech rights?https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2019/03/03/president-trump-vows-issue-executive-order-barring-research-funds-colleges-dont …

The federal free speech standard has been decided by decades of supreme court decisions, and is perfectly clear. Universities have just refused to respect it.

FIRE is right, tho. We don't know enough about proposed policy or how it would be executed to judge. Over last two years, Trump's executive orders have faced significant reversals because they were poorly drafted, so free speech advocates should not get too excited just yet.

The difficulty is that people’s speech is being shut down not just in campus events, but in the classroom. It is not just about allowing speakers to speak.

It is truly amazing how he can get people to expose themselves simply by making a statement, everyone rushes to "resist" showing how intellectually bankrupt they have become.

Who will determine if the speech is free enough?

It's not that hard. No one should expect the government to guarantee absolute free speech. But publicly funded institutions must be fair with regard to all major viewpoints. If they invite outside speakers at all, then those speakers must not represent just the left or right.
