AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Pregnant Students' Rights Act," requires institutions of higher education that participate in federal student aid programs to actively inform both prospective and currently enrolled students about their rights, available accommodations, and resources related to pregnancy. Specifically, these institutions must provide information on campus and community resources that support pregnant students in carrying their pregnancy to term and caring for their child afterward, details about accommodations that can help them manage their studies during pregnancy and after childbirth, and instructions on how to file a complaint with the Department of Education or the institution itself if they believe their rights under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 have been violated due to their decision to carry a pregnancy to term or if they experience discrimination related to this. This information must be disseminated through various channels, including annual emails to enrolled students, student handbooks, orientation sessions, student health and counseling centers, and the institution's public website.
