Title IX Protections for Pregnant and Parenting Students
Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 prohibits discrimination based on sex in educational settings. This protection extends to students who are pregnant, have experienced a pregnancy-related condition, or are new parents. This protection applies to both men and women.
Pregnancy-related conditions include:
- Pregnancy
- Childbirth
- False pregnancy
- Miscarriage
- Termination of a pregnancy
- Conditions arising in connection with pregnancy
- Recovery from any of the above conditions
Because support cannot be issued retroactively, students who have a pregnancy-related condition should compete the as soon as possible. This will allow us to begin working with you to explore supportive measures to fit your needs.
