Is there a college anywhere that doesn't give out photo I.D. cards to students?

There has been some discussion about this in PA lately. The legislation says (approximately) that the photo ID must be issued by a "government agency". It's arguable that state universities are government agencies.

Starting on November 6, you must prove your identity by showing one of the following photo IDs issued by:
The United States government, e.g., a U.S. passport
The Commonwealth of PA, e.g., a driver’s license (NOTE: An expired driver’s license is okay as long as it is within 12 months after the expiration date)
A PA municipality (e.g., city, county, borough, incorporated town) to municipal employees
An accredited PA public or private institution of higher learning, e.g., a student card
A PA care facility, which includes a long‐term care nursing facility, an assisted living residence or a personal care home
U.S. Armed Forces branches or their reserves, including the PA National Guard (NOTE: The ID holder can be a veteran or current member; the expiration date can be indefinite.)

Yes, and since Pennsylvania's judiciary ("The Best Money Can Buy!") has upheld the law, the Obama-Biden campaign in PA will just have to work with it - but it's a well-oiled machine, very good at mobilization, so those who think Mr. Turzai's boast will come to pass are in for a surprise.

Courts would never accept that. Precedent is clear here.
