No because an exec order such as this would do more harm than good.

Really? It would be worse than the suppression of free speech? If it came down to it, you’d rather see a university continue to violate the Constitution than see it lose funding?

No, I think an executive order like this would not actually lessen free speech suppression, but exacerbate it. There are better ways to effect cultural impact than misuse of unilateral tactics like executive order, which exists for different purposes. One way is legislation.

We don’t need another law. We already have the 1A, which is sufficient. The executive is required to enforce that Constitutional restriction.

To effectively and legally take steps such as defunding, we likely would need law. Withholding difficult to defend against both judicial and legislative counter because there is little/no establishment that universities are unconstitutional. Your feelings here would not be facts.

It’s plain that universities are acting unconstitutionally. They claim that people do not have the right to free speech on most of the university, they actively allow rioters a heckler’s veto, and they favor liberal speakers over conservatives.
