Notices for Pregnant College Students

If enacted, colleges and universities that get federal Title IV student aid would have to share specific information with prospective and enrolled students, including those attending less than full time. The school would email every enrolled student at least once each academic year. The school would also include the information in student handbooks (if any), at orientations, at student health or counseling centers (if any), and on its public website. The information would list campus and community resources to help carry a baby to term and to care for the baby after birth. It would describe accommodations to help a student carry a baby to term and parent after birth. It would explain how to file a Title IX complaint with the U.S. Department of Education and how to file a complaint with the school. The bill would take effect upon enactment and would prevent the Secretary from requiring additional information or creating new rights beyond this list.
