Join the Michelson 20MM Foundation as we uplift and share emerging best practices for AB 2881 implementation throughout California in support of pregnant and parenting students.
The new law requires colleges and universities in California to provide priority registration for student parents by July 2023, and to notify them of resources and supports critical to their success by February 2023. This law is the first of its kind in the nation and represents a major victory for student parents. The Michelson Center for Public Policy was proud to co-sponsor AB 2881, which will remove barriers that inhibit academic success and degree attainment for student parents at California’s community colleges, CSUs, and UCs, as well as bring greater attention to their needs.
