Short version from academia: "Free speech for the right people is fine,

so there is no problem!"

Of course, they don't have the balls to put it that bluntly.
Peter McPherson, president of the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities in Washington DC, called the order “plainly unnecessary” in a statement. “Public universities are already bound by the First Amendment and work each day to defend and honor it,” he said.
Wonder if he managed to put that out with a straight face?

The order is “a solution in search of a problem”, and seems designed to undermine trust in higher education and science, said Julie Schmid, executive director of the American Association of University Professors in Washington DC, in a statement.
Nobody has to do that, madam, you're doing quite well all by yourselves.
