AI Summary
This bill, known as the Court Legal Access and Student Support Act of 2021 or the CLASS Act of 2021, seeks to address two key issues related to higher education institutions. Firstly, it proposes that the Federal Arbitration Act, which governs the enforcement of arbitration agreements, shall not apply to enrollment agreements made between students and certain institutions of higher education. Secondly, it prohibits higher education institutions from requiring students to agree to or enforcing any limitations or restrictions on the students' ability to pursue claims against the institution in court, including any limitations on the choice of applicable law, jury trial, or venue.
