University Installing Classroom Displays Required by State Law

The University of Louisiana at Lafayette is installing posters of the Ten Commandments in accordance with Act 676 of the 2024 Regular Legislative Session. The law requires their display in classrooms at public schools and state-funded postsecondary institutions.

The University is also installing “In God We Trust” posters in accordance with Act 264 of the 2023 Regular Legislative Session, which requires display of the national motto in classrooms at public schools and state-funded postsecondary institutions.

As a state entity, UL Lafayette follows state law. The University has received donated materials that align with guidance from the Louisiana Attorney General’s Office. Installation was scheduled between semesters to minimize disruption to classroom instruction.
