Chapter 1 of title 9, United States Code, (relating to the enforcement of arbitration agreements) shall not apply to an enrollment agreement made between a student and an institution of higher education. In this section, the term institution of higher education has the meaning given such term in section 102 of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1002), as amended by section 101 of this Act. Section 487(a) (20 U.S.C. 1094(a)), as amended by section 101, is further amended by adding at the end the following:
The institution will not require any student to agree to, and will not enforce, any limitation or restriction (including a limitation or restriction on any available choice of applicable law, a jury trial, or venue) on the ability of a student to pursue a claim, individually or with others, against an institution in court. . Notwithstanding section 3, this section shall take effect on the date of enactment of this Act.
