Pregnant Students’ Rights Act
HR 6914, the Pregnant Students’ Rights Act, requires all colleges and universities receiving federal financial aid to inform students about existing protections under Title IX related to pregnancy. Specifically, it mandates that institutions send annual emails to all students, include this information in student handbooks and orientations, and post it on their websites. The notice must detail campus/community resources for students choosing to carry a pregnancy to term, available accommodations (like modified coursework), and how to file complaints about pregnancy discrimination. This directly affects every enrolled and prospective student at participating higher education institutions by ensuring they receive clear, accessible information about their rights and support options.
