How does Title IX protect pregnant and parenting students? Is taking adverse action against a pregnant or parenting student considered discrimination?
Title IX and the Pregnancy Discrimination Act prohibit an employer from firing, refusing to hire, demoting or taking any other adverse employment action against a woman if pregnancy, childbirth or a related medical condition was a motivating factor in the adverse employment action. Discrimination against a worker with caregiving responsibilities violates Title VII if it is based on sex, and violates the ADA if it is based on disability. For more information, click here.
