Concerning the issue of federal funding and state law, the Solomon Amendment (enacted in 1996) mandates that institutions of higher education allow military recruiters (and ROTC) access to campus. If they failed to do so - the schools risked losing federal funding.
Like the speed limit, that's how the the BAC limit for DUI was lowered in states - it was the potential loss of federal highway dollars.
A state or a school doesn't have to change its laws or rules, but they also don't have to receive federal funding either.
Execupundit had a good article on the history on how federal government can to control college education through federal funds. No surprise that Ronald Reagan tried to veto the law and Barack Obama leveraged it to the hilt.
