Summary

Would require colleges that accept federal student aid to inform pregnant students about their rights, campus resources, and community support for carrying a pregnancy to term. Schools would need to provide information on academic accommodations, childcare, housing, and financial aid options. The bill focuses specifically on resources for students who choose to continue their pregnancy.

The Good

Requires colleges to inform pregnant students of their rights

Mandates that institutions of higher education receiving federal aid provide information to students about their rights, resources, and community support services related to pregnancy. Many students are unaware of existing protections under Title IX.

The Bad

Information requirements without enforcement or funding

The bill requires schools to provide information but does not fund additional support services or create enforcement mechanisms for the rights it describes. Students may learn about rights that their institution lacks the resources to deliver on.
