Laws supporting pregnant and parenting students are advancing across the United States. Student parents, institutions, and advocates should be aware of the latest policy developments to strengthen advocacy efforts and stay informed about new legal obligations.
The SPARK Collaborative hosted a session exploring pending and recently enacted legislation designed to support pregnant and parenting students in higher education. Participants learned about recent policy advancements and tools to support their own advocacy.
Presented by Jessica Lee, a member of the SPARK Working Board, Co-Director of the Center for WorkLife Law at the University of California College of the Law, San Francisco, and Co-Founder of the Center’s Pregnant Scholar Initiative.
