Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 ("Title IX"), 20 U.S.C. §1681 et seq., is a Federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on sex—including pregnancy and parental status—in educational programs and activities.
In accordance with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Wallace Community College does not discriminate against any student or exclude any student from its educational program or activity, including any class or extracurricular activity, based on student's pregnancy or parental status, including childbirth, false pregnancy, termination or recovery of pregnancy, unless the student requests voluntarily to participate in a separate portion of the program or activity.
Title IX pregnancy accommodations are based on medical necessity and are typically only granted for the duration of a student’s medically necessary leave. Upon a student’s submission of the Pregnancy Modification Request Form and accompanying documentation verifying pregnancy, a member of the Title IX Leadership Team will:
- Contact the student to arrange for an initial intake meeting to discuss the student’s request(s);
- Approve reasonable accommodations for the student;
- Notify the student’s faculty members of approved request(s); and
- Serve as an advocate throughout the student’s pregnancy to ensure accommodations are implemented appropriately.
