Pregnant Students’ Rights Act: Mandatory Support and Information at Public Colleges.
This law requires public colleges and universities to actively inform pregnant students about their rights, protections against discrimination, and available support resources to help them continue their studies. The goal is to ensure students are not forced to choose between their education and carrying a pregnancy to term, by mandating clear communication of non-abortion related accommodations and support. Institutions must also track and report on related complaints.
Key points
Public higher education institutions must disseminate mandatory information on pregnant students' rights and accommodations, excluding abortion services.
Colleges must establish protocols to address student complaints regarding pregnancy-based discrimination under Title IX.
Institutions are required to annually collect confidential data from students about their experiences with pregnancy and the adequacy of campus support.
