政策声明

For a complete understanding of the Concordia’s policy on gender discrimination access the University 第九条 web site as identified above.

性别歧视, 其中包括基于怀孕的歧视, 婚姻状况, 或者父母身份, 是被禁止和非法入场的吗, 教育项目和活动, 招聘, 离开政策, 就业政策和医疗保险. The university hereby establishes a policy and associated procedures for ensuring the protection and equal treatment of pregnant individuals, 有妊娠相关疾病的人, 新晋父母.

根据教育部（DOE）第九条规定, an institution that receives federal funding "shall not discriminate against any student, 或将任何学生排除在其教育计划或活动之外, 包括任何课堂或课外活动, 基于这样的学生怀孕, 分娩, 假怀孕, 终止妊娠, 或者从中恢复.根据美国能源部的说法, appropriate treatment of a pregnant student includes granting the student leave "for so long a period of time as is deemed medically necessary by the student's physician," and then effectively reinstating the student to the same status as was held when the leave began.

This generally means that pregnant students should be treated by Concordia the same way as someone who has a temporary disability, 并有机会尽可能补课. 延长期限，补交作业(如.g., 论文, 小测验, 测试, 和演示), 辅导, 独立学习, 在线课程完成选项, 和不完整的成绩，可以在以后完成, 都应该被雇用吗？, in addition to any other ergonomic and assistive supports typically provided by Accessibility Services. 尽可能地, Concordia will take reasonable steps to ensure that pregnant students who take a leave of absence or medical leave return to the same position of academic progress that they were in when they took leave, 包括访问与休假开始时相同的课程目录. The 第九条 Coordinator has the authority to determine that such accommodations are necessary and appropriate, and to inform 教师 members of the need to adjust academic parameters accordingly.

和无障碍设施一样, information about pregnant students' requests for accommodations will be shared with 教师 and 工作人员 only to the extent necessary to provide the reasonable accommodations. 教师 and 工作人员 will regard all information associated with such requests as private and will not disclose this information unless necessary. Administrative responsibility for these accommodations lies with the 第九条 Coordinator, 谁将保存所有与住宿有关的适当文件. The 第九条 Coordinator is authorized to share this documentation with Concordia’s Accessibility Office and work cooperatively with that Office.

在诸如临床轮转的情况下, 表演, 实验室, 还有小组作业, the institution will work with the student to devise an alternative path to completion, 如果可能的话. 在渐进式课程和/或群体模式项目中, medically necessary leaves are sufficient cause to permit the student to shift course order, 替代同类课程, 或者在休假归来后加入下一个群体, 如果可能的话.

学生 are encouraged to work with their 教师 members and Concordia’s support systems to devise a plan for how to best address the conditions as 怀孕 progresses, 预计需要树叶, 尽量减少他们缺席对学术的影响, 尽可能高效舒适地回到正轨. The 第九条 Coordinator will assist with plan development and implementation as needed and will consult with the University Accessibility Office when appropriate.
