Colleges Scramble to Plan Events to Comply With Federal Mandate for Constitution Day Chronicle of Higher Education Sept. 2, 2005 -- A new federal law that requires colleges to present educational programming about the U.S. Constitution every September 17 has many institutions scrambling to develop programs just as the academic year is getting under way. Reaction to the mandate has varied. Some colleges, like WUSTL, are using the occasion to organize major events. But most are simply playing host to a speech or holding a panel discussion. WUSTL will use the day as a chance to formally open the Richard A. Gephardt Institute for Public Service. The event will feature an Assembly Series lecture by economist Hernando de Soto and a speech by Mr. Gephardt, a former Democratic congressman from Missouri. WUSTL political science professor emeritus James Davis, director of the center, comments.
