Summary

This bill makes federal arbitration law inapplicable to enrollment agreements between students and certain higher education institutions, and prohibits those institutions from limiting students' ability to pursue claims in court. Sec. 2, Arbitration law not applicable to enrollment agreements: Chapter 1 of title 9 of the United States Code, which governs enforcement of arbitration agreements, does not apply to any enrollment agreement between a student and an institution of higher education. An enrollment agreement is any contract where a student makes a financial commitment for enrollment in a program of study. Institution of higher education has the meaning under section 102 of the Higher Education Act of 1965. Sec. 3, Prohibition on limiting students' ability to pursue claims: Section 487(a) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 is amended to add a new requirement that an institution will not require any student to agree to, and will not enforce, any limitation or restriction on the ability of a student to pursue a claim, individually or with others, against the institution in court. This includes limitations on choice of applicable law, jury trial, or venue. Sec. 4, Effective date: This Act and its amendments take effect 1 year after the date of enactment.
