Bob and Margaret Abrahart said a parliamentary debate on the issue had "opened another door" in their bid to seek "parity" with the duty of care given by employers.
A court had earlier ruled Bristol University's actions contributed to the suicide of their daughter Natasha, 20, and it had breached the Equality Act 2010 in the way it treated her.
Natasha had been diagnosed with chronic Social Anxiety Disorder in February 2018. She took her life in 2018 the day she was due to give a presentation to students and staff in a 329-seat lecture theatre.
