Educational institutions must take measures to eliminate discrimination and harassment on the basis of sex, including pregnancy. Additionally, educational institutions may have to make reasonable adjustments or modifications to the regular course of instruction for pregnant and parenting students. As employers, educational institutions must also comply with numerous local, state, and federal laws regarding pregnant and parenting employees.  Our attorneys frequently help educational institutions comply with Title IX, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act and the various other federal laws governing employees.
