Pregnant Students' Rights: Support and Information at Universities

This new act requires higher education institutions to inform pregnant students about their rights, available accommodations, and support resources. The goal is to ensure that students who choose to carry their pregnancy to term and raise a child receive necessary assistance and protection against discrimination, facilitating their continued education.
Key points
Universities must inform students about on-campus and community resources available to help with pregnancy and childcare.
Universities are required to provide information on accommodations that assist pregnant students in continuing their studies and parenting.
Students will receive information on how to file a complaint with the Department of Education or the institution if they experience pregnancy-related discrimination.
Information will be disseminated via email at the start of each term, in student handbooks, at orientations, at health centers, and on university websites.
