How often courts cite this section
Court decisions citing this, by year.Markers show enactment, consequential amendments, and circuit splits over this section — watch for a citation surge after a change or a disagreement. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.
There is authorized to be appropriated to the Department of Education the sum of $200,000 annually, for the purpose of making or cooperating in making the studies, investigations, and reports provided for in section 17 of this title, and for the purpose of paying the salaries of the officers, the assistants, and such office and other expenses as the Department may deem necessary to the execution and administration of this chapter; this appropriation is also made available for printing and binding, law books, books of reference and periodicals, and postage on foreign mail.
