Student Pregnancy Information
香港伦理 is committed to creating and maintaining a community free from discrimination, including discrimination on the basis of sex, as mandated by Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Sex discrimination, which can include discrimination based on a student’s current, potential, or past pregnancy or related conditions, is prohibited and illegal.
香港伦理 will treat pregnancy or related conditions in the same manner and under the same policies as any other temporary medical conditions concerning any medical or hospital benefit, service, plan, or policy the University administers, operates, offers, or participates in concerning students admitted to the University’s education program or activity.
Definitions of Pregnancy or Related Conditions
“Pregnancy or Related Conditions” means the following: (1) Pregnancy, childbirth, termination of pregnancy, or lactation; (2) Medical conditions related to pregnancy, childbirth, termination of pregnancy, or lactation; or (3) Recovery from pregnancy, childbirth, termination of pregnancy, lactation, or related medical conditions.
Self-Identification and Employee Reporting
Students may self-identify their pregnancy pregnancy-related condition to the Title IX Coordinator to receive modifications. Students are strongly encouraged to self-report so that the student and the Title IX Coordinator can work together throughout the student’s pregnancy to ensure that reasonable modifications are made and evolved as necessary based on the needs of the student.
All employees MUST report to the Title IX Coordinator the name and specific information reported to them by a student who has informed them of their pregnancy. The employee must also inform the pregnant student that the Title IX Coordinator can coordinate specific actions to prevent sex discrimination and ensure the student’s equal access to the University’s education program or activity.
Lactation Space
The University provides a lactation space, other than a bathroom, which is clean, shielded from view, free from intrusion from others, that may be used by a student for expressing breast milk or breastfeeding as needed. Students needing to arrange times for the use of lactation space should contact the Title IX Coordinator.
