In accordance with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, and other state and local laws, St. Francis College is committed to maintaining a community free from all forms of sex discrimination. Sex discrimination includes discrimination on the basis of pregnancy, childbirth, false pregnancy, termination of pregnancy, or recovery from pregnancy. Title IX prohibits harassment, intimidation, or other discrimination because of pregnancy and related conditions.
 

Reasonable Adjustments:

St. Francis College supports reasonable adjustments for students to ensure they have equal educational access based on pregnancy and related conditions. Examples of common reasonable adjustments include, but are not limited to:

• A larger or different desk
• Breaks during class, labs, or exams for restroom breaks, lactation needs, or for food/drinking needs
• Parking or elevator access
• Changes in schedule or course sequence
• Extensions on deadlines or missed coursework
• Potential excused absences for medical appointments
• Medical leave, if necessary, without penalty, and the ability to return at the same status
• Reasonable access to remote academic opportunities, if eligible per the course
   

Lactation Space:

The lactation room is located at 7203. The space is secure, private, well-lit, and sanitary. It is equipped with a table, chair, and electrical outlet. Lactating students or employees will need to provide their own breast pumps, adaptors, and other accessories. The College is not responsible for the security or integrity of breast milk stored in or outside of the College refrigerators. Students and employees may access the lactation rooms only for the purposes of expressing and collecting breast milk.
 

Contact Title IX for support:

While not required, students who are pregnant or facing pregnancy related conditions are encouraged to contact the Title IX Coordinator to discuss any potential adjustments or supportive measures available.

Faculty and staff who are made aware of a pregnant student or a student facing pregnancy related conditions are encouraged to share the Title IX Coordinator’s information with that student and inform them that the Title IX Coordinator can provide resources and support.

Employees or applicants may also contact Human Resources for more information about additional workplace laws and policies which may apply.

At times, a pregnant individual may also qualify for reasonable accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). In these circumstances, the Title IX Coordinator will work with the Office of Accessibilities and Accommodations to determine how support and accommodations may be provided.

Should an individual wish to file a complaint regarding sex discrimination (including pregnancy status), please see the Discrimination, Harassment, and Sexual Misconduct Policy for more information about the complaint and grievance process.
