Anyone who runs a student group knows about the 501(c)(3) section of the federal tax code. This section, which makes nonprofit groups tax exempt, shelters many student groups, and, in fact, the University itself.But in return for tax-exempt status, the law puts restrictions on such groups and institutions.
