Also, the press release, entitled "Sacramento State celebrates Constitution's 220th anniversary", was posted on the Sac State website on Sept. 6.

Although the official Constitution Week was Sept. 17-21, the movie's showing was included on the schedule of events in the press release. Since it was on the official document, we inferred the movie was part of the Constitution celebration.
UNIQUE may not be required to observe Constitution Week, but the school they work for is. And UNIQUE was listed as a sponsor, among other groups, of the activities for Constitution Week in the press release.
The College Republicans meet Thursdays at 6 p.m. in the student union. We'd be happy to discuss this matter further with interested parties.
