AB 972: Postsecondary education: discrimination: sex.
This bill aims to expand California's anti-discrimination laws to include sex as a protected characteristic in postsecondary education. The existing law already prohibits discrimination based on various characteristics, including disability, gender, gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation. The proposed amendment would explicitly include sex in the list of protected characteristics, ensuring that individuals cannot be subjected to discrimination based on their sex in postsecondary educational institutions that receive state financial assistance or enroll students who receive state student financial aid.
