Training Overview
Are you doing enough to protect pregnant students? Learn how to comply with the law.
In a post-Roe world, more students will likely become parents. Under Title IX, you must take specific steps to protect pregnant and parenting students. On July 12, the Department of Education published proposed regulations that “prohibit discrimination against students and applicants for admission or employment on the basis of current, potential, or past pregnancy or related conditions” and clarify schools’ obligations.
You need to know and implement the requirements to make accommodations for pregnant students, excuse certain absences for pregnancy and childbirth, and enable such students to participate in all educational programs. The new regulations expand upon the previous guidance issued in 2013.
