Colleges Receiving US Taxpayer Funds Must Hold Programs for Students on Constitution on Sep. 17th



According to this updated U.S. law, colleges which receive U.S. taxpayer funds must "hold an educational program on the United States Constitution on September 17 of such year for the students served by the educational institution." Will try to learn what institutions actually comply with this law. It is unknown if there are any penalties for non compliance. May be like the flag display laws which have no penalty for violations.
